Data Protection Officer (Contractor) Location: Remote (UK timezone) | Compensation: £550/day + performance bonus | Hours: 16+ hrs/week (flexible) About Us Trust Keith is on a mission to make the complex world of data protection simple, human, and genuinely fun. We combine hands‑on human expertise with an intelligent platform to power continuous privacy operations, turning regulatory chaos into clarity and giving fast‑growing companies the confidence to scale. Our 16‑strong remote team is scaling quickly and has been named one of Tempo’s Top 100 Start‑ups and won Flexa’s Flexible SaaS Award (2023). What We Offer

Freedom with connection – autonomy but never isolation. Competitive pay: £550/day + performance bonus. Variety – work across different industries, products and personalities. Smart tech that handles complexity, letting you focus on strategic impact. Community – collaborate daily with DPOs, Product, Customer Success and Ops teams. Quarterly DPO Days – deep‑dive sessions with the whole team. Continuous growth – learning sessions, platform updates, open forums. Zero beige energy – a start‑up that swaps corporate formality for creativity, fun and momentum.

About You You thrive on variety and love diving into new businesses, learning how they work and helping them grow safely and confidently. You’re not a spreadsheet person – you want tools that help privacy power the business, not block it. You shape how tech supports DPOs and you’re not shy about giving feedback when something can be better. You make privacy real – energetic, empathetic and maybe a few puns up your sleeve. You are bold, curious, collaborative, pushing boundaries and believing compliance can be fun. You’re not looking for another contract; you want a place where your ideas count, your voice is heard and your work builds something bigger. The Role
