Data Protection Manager

As a Data Protection Manager, you’ll play a key role in protecting our members, colleagues, and communities by ensuring Nationwide manages personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently. You’ll provide expert data protection advice across change initiatives and day-to-day activity, review high‑risk privacy impact assessments, and help embed strong privacy standards across the organisation. Working closely with colleagues across Nationwide, you’ll help maintain trust with our members and regulators while supporting Nationwide’s purpose as a member‑owned mutual.

This role sits within Nationwide’s Data Protection Office, part of our wider risk and compliance environment. The team supports Nationwide to meet its obligations under the UK GDPR and related data protection laws through advice, assurance, training, and oversight of privacy risks.

You’ll act as a subject matter expert, supporting business teams to design and operate compliant data processing activities and ensure privacy risks are identified and managed early. Your work will have a direct impact on protecting members’ information and maintaining Nationwide’s reputation for doing the right thing.

At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this job you'll be located at our nearest regional hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events in one of our office sites. This is anticipated to be quarterly, in London or Swindon. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. 

If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.
