At Compare the Market, we're a purpose-driven business powered by tech and AI. We're building high-performing, results-driven teams with the skills, mindset, and ambition to deliver outcomes at pace. Every role here plays a part in driving our mission forward, and we create an environment where you can bring your authentic self, grow a truly characterful career, and see the direct impact of your work on the lives of our customers.

We've carved a meerkat-shaped niche and we're looking for ambitious, curious thinkers who thrive in a fast-moving, high-impact environment. If you love accountability, embrace challenge, and want to make a real difference, you'll fit right in.

• Lead the implementation, maintenance and continuous improvement of Compare the Market's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capability, helping to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorised disclosure, loss and leakage across the organisation.
• Configure, deploy and optimise DLP policies, rules and alerts across key data protection platforms, including Netskope, Microsoft Purview, Wiz and Kiteworks, ensuring alignment with business and regulatory requirements.
• Drive data discovery, classification and labelling initiatives, identifying sensitive data across the organisation and implementing appropriate protection measures.
• Integrate DLP controls with the wider security environment to deliver effective and comprehensive protection of customer and business data.
• Investigate DLP alerts and incidents, support response activities, and produce reporting and audit evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of data protection controls.
• Partner with Cyber Security, Information Security, Enterprise Technology, Legal, Compliance, Data Governance and Privacy teams to embed data protection best practices and ensure regulatory compliance.
• Develop and maintain DLP configurations, standards, procedures and documentation, while identifying opportunities to enhance controls as technologies, threats and regulations evolve.
• Work closely with platform vendors and third-party partners to resolve issues, optimise platform capabilities and support ongoing improvements to Compare the Market's data security posture.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience administering, configuring and optimising Netskope in a production environment. Netskope experience is an essential requirement for this role.
• Proven experience implementing and managing enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions.
• Strong hands-on experience with DLP technologies, including Microsoft Purview, Netskope, Wiz and Kiteworks.
• Experience conducting data discovery, classification and information labelling activities across complex environments.
• Experience implementing and supporting secure file sharing and information protection controls.
• Knowledge of cloud security posture management and risk remediation, ideally with experience using Wiz.
• Experience investigating DLP alerts, supporting incident response activities and producing reporting for stakeholders and auditors.
• Strong scripting and automation skills using technologies such as Python, PowerShell, Bash/Shell, Regex and YAML/JSON.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to independently lead multiple DLP projects and initiatives.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Working knowledge of how DLP and CASB controls, particularly within Netskope, integrate with broader network and access security architecture.
