Privacy & Security Project Lead
About the assignment
You manage end-to-end privacy and security projects that impact the entire organisation. You translate regulatory requirements into actionable roadmaps, ensuring ISO 27001, GDPR, and emerging frameworks (NIS2, DORA) are embedded into operations.
Your challenge: balance rapid business growth with robust compliance. You coordinate cross-functional teams, manage vendor dependencies, and report progress to leadership. Impact is measured by reduced audit findings, faster time-to-compliance, and a security-first culture.
Your responsibilities
- Lead privacy and security project portfolios from initiation through closure
- Develop and execute compliance roadmaps aligned with ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, and DORA requirements
- Manage stakeholder communication with technical teams, business units, and executive leadership
- Oversee risk assessments, control testing, and remediation tracking across the organisation
- Design and implement privacy impact assessments and data protection governance frameworks
- Monitor regulatory changes and translate them into project priorities and control updates
- Coordinate third-party security assessments and vendor risk management processes
