DPR Newsletter - March 2026

It’s a very interesting time for the senior level data privacy & protection jobs market and maybe you have questions and uncertainty about how the market will change later this year, next year and in the years ahead.

I’m starting a series of market updates for senior level data protection professionals who I have connected with over the years and explore how the jobs market is evolving at the senior management to executive / CPO level and including DPO, Head of and Director of roles as well as all variations of Group DPO and IG and AI Governance.

I aim to send you a jobs market update that is relevant/on target for your journey so far but please flag up if you are only interested in a specific area at the senior level and I will try to keep the updates targeted accordingly.

DPR is mostly focussed International contract and interim Data Privacy & Protection recruitment services now but after well over 15 years of working with UK senior level industry leaders in the data protection market we have a lot to give back on UK recruitment at this level and hope our market updates are at the least interesting and at best the beginning of a new career opportunity.
