Consultant and Senior Consultant level
Vantage Point Global is supporting an NHS programme that is shaping the future of health data management, and we are looking for data privacy, protection, and governance professionals to support the next phase of delivery.
These roles will sit within Proofs of Concept being developed as part of the Single Patient Record programme. The focus will be on ensuring that requirements for managing personal data are clearly defined and built into the detailed design of the platform architecture, processing model, and use cases.
This is an opportunity to join a high-impact programme at an early stage, helping to ensure privacy, governance, and data protection requirements are considered properly from the outset. We are looking for individuals at the Consultant and Senior Consultant levels who can bring strong requirement definition skills and experience working with personal or sensitive data in complex environments.
What you will be doing
• Support the definition of data privacy, protection, and governance requirements across Proofs of Concept
• Work with business, architecture, design, and programme stakeholders to ensure personal data requirements are understood and reflected in detailed design
• Help shape approaches to handling, processing, storing, sharing, and governing personal data within the platform
• Review use cases, workflows, and proposed designs to identify privacy and data protection considerations
• Translate regulatory, policy, and governance requirements into practical delivery requirements
• Support the documentation of requirements, controls, decisions, and design implications in a clear and structured way
• Contribute to discussions around data governance, access, accountability, retention, and appropriate use of patient information
• Help ensure privacy by design principles are considered across architecture and processing decisions
What we are looking for
• Experience in data privacy, data protection, data governance, or information governance roles
• Strong experience gathering and defining requirements in complex change or transformation programmes
• Good understanding of how personal data requirements should be reflected in platform design, data processing, and operational workflows
• Experience working with sensitive or regulated data, ideally within healthcare, public sector, or highly governed environments
• Ability to work across business and technical teams and communicate clearly with a range of stakeholders
• Strong attention to detail and confidence in documenting requirements and decisions clearly
• Available to start next month
• London-based, or able to travel to London as needed for hybrid working
Nice to have
• Previous NHS or public sector experience
• Experience supporting healthcare data platforms, patient data programmes, or similar public sector transformation initiatives
• Familiarity with UK data protection requirements and governance considerations in health settings
• Experience working on Proof of Concept, discovery, or early-stage design activity
Why this role?
• Opportunity to support a major NHS data and transformation programme
• High-impact work at an early stage of platform and use case design
• Strong potential to shape how privacy and governance are embedded from day one
• Six-month initial contract with immediate relevance and visible value
How to apply
If you have experience in data privacy, protection, governance, or requirement definition and are available to start next month, we would love to hear from you.
Please send your CV and confirm your availability to start, your location, and any relevant experience across data privacy, governance, requirement definition, or healthcare data programmes.
