Clean Air Zone - Senior Data Governance Manager 

Salary: £38,654

Location: Swansea 

Do you have data protection expertise?

Are you someone who enjoys working collaboratively with different business areas and organisations?

Would you like to play a key role in an exciting government initiative aimed at reducing harmful emissions and improving air quality?

If so, we'd love to hear from you!

Job description

DVLA is taking over the management of the Clean Air Zone (CAZ) central service on behalf of the Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU).

This is an environmental initiative where targeted action is taken to improve air quality, by discouraging the most polluting vehicles from entering a Clean Air Zone. Vehicles which exceed certain emission standards may have to pay a charge to drive in one of these zones.

The purpose of this role is to act as the primary point of contact with JAQU for all data governance matters ensuring compliance with data protection legislation, managing requests for personal data and ensuring data sharing agreements in place are fit for purpose and contain the relevant data protection obligations.

The role requires a great deal of stakeholder engagement with JAQU, those local authorities who operate a Clean Air Zone and internal project staff. As such it enables the role holder to develop a broad network, whilst providing extensive experience of advising on a wide range of data protection matters.
 

Responsibilities

Key accountabilities of the role include:

• In consultation with JAQU and Commercial colleagues, to advise on the type of agreement needed, the data protection relationships, and relevant clauses in respect of all data contracts drafted related to CAZ;
• To manage the data governance aspects associated with onboarding/offboarding local authorities on to the scheme;
• To act as the primary point of contact for JAQU for all data governance matters, collaborating closely with other internal and external stakeholders as required;
• To assist JAQU with drafting/maintaining of any Data Protection Impact Assessments relevant to DVLA’s processing of CAZ data;
• To monitor compliance with the terms of the relevant data sharing agreements and escalating any issues arising.

For an in-depth insight into the role please refer to the Role Profile.

Please note that this is a funded role by JAQU until March 2023. When the role expires another post will be found for the successful candidate within the agency.

About You
We are looking for someone with a working level knowledge of data protection law, experience of implementing data sharing agreements and commercial awareness.

You must have strong stakeholder, and relationship management skills. You will be self-motivated, be comfortable managing a challenging workload and possess the capability to organise and prioritise workloads effectively.

The successful candidate will be encouraged to undertake Data Protection qualifications, if not already qualified.

We strive to ensure that DVLA is a great place to work where everybody can be their true self, be treated with dignity and respect, and according to their individual needs. We have 6 staff network groups run by staff to support their colleagues: Freedom (LGBT), Ability (Disabilities), Gender Equality, Unity (Ethnicity), Mental Health Network and Carers Support Network.

DVLA are following government guidelines and the majority of Strategy, Policy & Communications directorate (SPCD) staff are currently working from home. This is likely to continue until the end of 2021, however this is under continuous review. Once it is possible to do so the current expectation is that SPCD staff will be located in the Swansea office to allow for ongoing support, development and collaboration with colleagues.
