Privacy Operations Analyst

Privacy Operations Analyst at Amey

Amey is excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Permanent Privacy Operations Analyst, with a preference for remote or hybrid work, ideally based in North UK. This role is full-time, 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday.

Are you highly organised, detail-oriented, and eager to develop your career in privacy and data protection? This entry-level position is perfect for building foundational experience in privacy operations within a critical and growing function. We are seeking a Privacy Operations Analyst to help deliver our privacy programme across both corporate and restricted environments. This role is ideal for individuals with governance, compliance, or operational support experience looking to build privacy expertise in a collaborative, supportive team.

What You Will Do

Operational Delivery

• Conduct data and document searches to support Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) fulfilment and maintain accurate case records.
• Maintain the Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) and other privacy registers.
• Coordinate logistics and scheduling for operational and governance meetings and committees.
• Support the documentation and tracking of privacy incidents, including initial triage and escalation.
• Help maintain the data breach register and assist with regulatory reporting preparation.

Project & Vendor Support

• Assist with the preparation and documentation of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and vendor privacy assessments.
• Maintain logs and templates used in privacy reviews and project engagements.
• Track and update privacy-related actions and remediation items.

Advice & Awareness

• Provide practical support to business and IT teams on day-to-day privacy queries, referring complex matters to the Senior Data Protection Analyst.
• Contribute to the development and distribution of privacy awareness materials and training content.

Cross-Functional Engagement

• Work with Legal, HR, IT, and business units to support the implementation of privacy controls.
• Ensure privacy practices are embedded into operational processes across both corporate and restricted environments.

What You Will Bring

You should have experience working in a structured governance, compliance, or operational support function. Exposure to privacy, data protection, or DSAR handling is beneficial but not essential.

Skills

• Strong organisational and documentation skills.
• Ability to manage sensitive data and maintain confidentiality.
• Comfortable working across multiple teams and handling varied privacy queries.

Qualifications

• Privacy certification (e.g., CIPP/E, BCS) is a plus or a willingness to work towards one.
• Experience in a relevant field such as administration, compliance, or information governance is acceptable.

Amey welcomes applications from a diverse range of candidates.
