• Experience in cloud security, security engineering, or infrastructure security roles.
• Hands‑on experience securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - IAM, network security, encryption, workload protection.
• Hands‑on experience implementing data protection controls in Microsoft Purview or equivalent platforms.
• Experience delivering control governance, remediation workflows and evidence‑based reporting for cloud and data security non‑compliances.

• Strong understanding of data protection concepts (classification, least privilege, encryption, DLP, secure sharing) and how they apply in modern cloud and collaboration environments.
• Ability to translate risk into practical standards and secure‑by‑design blueprints for cloud and data use cases.
• Strong analytical skills to interpret signals and drive risk‑based remediation priorities.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including the ability to explain control requirements to technical and non‑technical audiences.
• An interest in AI security considerations (e.g., data exposure risks in AI tooling, secure adoption patterns) - training and support will be provided to build this out further

Responsibilities

• Own cloud and data security policies, standards and secure‑by‑design patterns for infrastructure, information protection and safe AI adoption.
• Engineer, manage and govern cloud security and data protection controls (currently using Microsoft Purview)
• Operate and improve Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) practices, using insights to prioritise remediation
• Define governance processes for cloud and data security non‑compliances, exceptions and control gaps, coordinating remediation with technology and data owners
• Partner with Data, Privacy, Legal and IT stakeholders to ensure controls and processes meet regulatory and internal requirements
• Support incident response by providing SME input for cloud misconfigurations, data leakage events, or insider risk, and driving control improvements
• Provide security architecture reviews and guidance for cloud, data platform and analytics initiatives to ensure secure data flows and protection by design
• Contribute to security awareness and enablement for employees on safe handling of sensitive data and cloud resources
• Work with Cyber Defence to ensure relevant cloud and data protection events and telemetry are available for monitoring and response
