Diversity matters

We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.
We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!

Who we are

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, privately-owned and family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good. We fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that what’s inside counts – whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

• Reviewing Digital projects as part of the Data Privacy Team to ensure compliance with Data Privacy laws

• Maintaining policies and procedures to meet relevant Data Privacy guidelines
• Managing and reviewing vendor contracts on a rolling yearly basis
• Keeping evidential logs of activities carried out
• Promoting effective work practices and encouraging a culture of Data Privacy and security knowledge within the business

• Willing to learn lots of new skills and ability to learn on the job
• Note that some travel will be required*

• Experience working with data privacy in a customer facing business is preferred
• Experience working with pentests and scanning is preferred

The role

We encourage new ways of working and take our own perspective on data privacy and security and we hope those applying will bring fresh and innovative ideas to the role. The candidate will be responsible for implementing and progressing Data Privacy requirements covering the Digital business.

• The candidate will be working remotely but there will be some travel required to our head office in Poole.
