Alfa is looking to hire a Senior Data Privacy Analyst who is eager to take the next step in their career. We are looking for someone who would be interested in investigating and then disseminating information about Data Privacy legislation relating to a new, unfamiliar territory amongst the team. Whilst initially focussing on Data Privacy and Alfa's obligation as a Controller, the right candidate should enjoy a future role with dual focus between Data Privacy (where Alfa acts as Controller or Processor) and Information Security and be keen to further their understanding in the complimentary fields of Data Privacy and Information Security.

Alfa is a leader in the asset finance software industry. We provide market leading enterprise software and services across all geographies to globally recognised brands. Data Privacy is a vital aspect of everything we do for the products we provide and the services we offer.  The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate prior experience in Data Privacy, having taken lead roles in in Data Privacy programmes. With all members of the team undertaking either an Information Security degree, or alternatively, industry certification programmes in Data Privacy or Information Security paid for by Alfa, the successful candidate should expect to undertake similar training as part of their career development.
