Requirements
- Demonstrable experience in a dedicated, senior data security role, with a proven track record of designing and implementing data classification frameworks and DLP programmes in complex, multi-cloud or hybrid environments
- Hands-on experience with DLP policy architecture, implementation, and tuning across endpoint, network, and cloud channels, including data classification tooling (sensitivity label schema, sensitive information types, auto-labelling policies)
- Solid understanding of cloud data environments — AWS, Azure, M365 — including where sensitive data resides and how it moves, and working knowledge of CASB concepts and how they complement DLP controls
- Experience engaging with data engineering, data architecture, or data governance teams, with sufficient breadth across data cataloguing, lineage, and access governance to position data security as an enabler rather than a constraint
- Exposure to security architecture processes — architecture reviews, reference architecture development, and architectural decision-making — and an understanding of how AI services handle and retain data, with awareness of AI governance and DSPM as an emerging area of responsibility
- Working knowledge of GDPR obligations and how regulatory requirements translate into technical controls
- Able to operate with a high degree of autonomy in ambiguous, evolving environments — this role is building a capability from a fragmented baseline and requires someone who can design, iterate, and adapt without waiting for direction
- Strong credibility with senior technical stakeholders and clear communication across audiences — able to engage as a peer with the Security Architect and data professionals, and translate complex requirements into practical guidance for non-technical stakeholders
Nice to Have
- Some familiarity with Microsoft Purview DataShield policy orchestration across hybrid environments
