Social Housing Champion - Director of Social Housing - Recruit with Purpose

Looking for a role where you can lead, shape, and deliver data security from the ground up? not just follow a script? This is your chance to define and implement a brand-new data security programme in your own way.

We’re working with one of the UK’s most forward-thinking housing associations to recruit a Data Security Engineer. You’ll be given the freedom and trust to take ownership of data security across the organisation, driving impact from day one.

This isn’t a role with a rigid checklist. The programme hasn’t even been fully scoped yet, meaning you’ll get to assess what’s been done, define what’s next, and build a secure future.

What you’ll be doing

Leading the design and delivery of a new Microsoft Purview-driven data security programme.
Implementing and managing data security measures across M365, including SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
Developing policies for sensitivity labelling, retention, and lifecycle management to protect critical information.
Designing and enforcing DLP (Data Loss Prevention) policies, ensuring minimal user disruption.
Supporting information governance and wider data management policies in collaboration with IT and business teams.
Exploring Microsoft Priva, AI & CoPilot integrations, and ensuring readiness for audits, acquisitions, and mergers.
Working closely with a Microsoft Gold Partner while embedding best practices across the organisation.

What we’re looking for

Strong expertise with Microsoft 365 Compliance & Security, including Purview, DLP, labelling, and retention.
A background in cloud-first environments with a good understanding of data governance and records management.
At least 5 years’ experience in Microsoft 365 support or engineering roles.
Ideally degree qualified in Computer Science or holding Microsoft certifications (e.g. SC-400).
Analytical, proactive, and confident being the go-to expert in the room.
A natural problem solver who’s not afraid to ask “why?” and challenge assumptions.

What’s in it for you

In return, you’ll join a genuine people-first organisation that values initiative and professional growth. If you want to progress while delivering meaningful, project-led work – this is your opportunity.
