We have an exciting opportunity for a Legal & Privacy Administrator to join our dedicated in-house legal team reporting to our Regulatory Governance Manager. In this role you will be based at our Head Office in Watford (with a requirement to work in the office at least twice a week) and will be responsible for supporting Wickes data privacy operations on a day-to-day basis and providing ad-hoc support on other administrative legal matters. 

You will provide support on data privacy and compliance matters to mitigate the risks of compliance failures to our business. Tasks will include gathering and validating data from across the business to respond to Subject Access Requests, supporting the Data Privacy Analyst with identifying and redacting sensitive information and preparing responses to Subject Access Requests, responding to customer queries concerning data and supporting with the management of the GDPR inbox. You may also be asked to support the Legal team with other administrative tasks, including in relation to Letters Before Action and Claims.

What are we looking for? 

We are looking for someone with some experience of dealing with Subject Access Requests. You’ll need to have an eye for detail and some prior experience working cross-functionally. You’ll be a great communicator, with colleagues, customers and suppliers alike, with a positive attitude and a genuine commitment to be the very best you can. You will have a basic understanding of data privacy laws and how data affects us all as consumers on a daily basis. You will be a ‘hands on’ self-starter and be able to operate at all levels within a fast paced but rewarding environment. 

Legal & Sustainability team

We work with colleagues across the business and external stakeholders to ensure that the business stays legal and operates responsibly every single day. We do this by being curious, supportive and approachable, and providing pragmatic and commercially minded advice to all other teams across the business. 

In our function, we have the legal, insurance and sustainability teams led by Helen O’Keefe, the General Counsel and Company Secretary for Wickes. It is important to us that we have fun as a team, and we have a strong supportive culture, and catch-up regularly by having lunch together when we are in the Watford support centre, and also connect together on regular social events.
