We are seeking an DSPM Lead who is responsible for designing, implementing, and managing the firm’s Data Security Posture Management capabilities across cloud, hybrid, and on‑premise environments. This role provides continuous visibility into where sensitive data resides, how it is accessed, whether it complies with global regulations, and how its security posture can be strengthened. The position serves as a bridge between Information Security, Data Governance, Risk & Compliance, and GTech to ensure data‑level protection across all regions and systems. The ideal candidate will have hands‑on expertise in DSPM technology.

Responsibilities

Evaluate compliance alignment with ISO 27001, NIST 800‑53, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and internal standards.

Data Security Controls & Remediation

Collaborate with Identity & Access Management to enforce least‑privilege access and remove excessive permissions.

Recommend and implement security controls such as encryption, masking, tokenization, and DLP policies.

Work with platform and application teams to remediate identified data security gaps.

Monitoring & Reporting

Provide continuous monitoring of data access patterns, anomalies, and compliance posture across hybrid environments.

Deliver automated reporting to Security, Compliance, IT Leadership, and audit stakeholders.

Track and report metrics related to risk reduction, compliance, and overall data security posture.

Policy Alignment & Governance Collaboration

Ensure alignment between DSPM strategy and the firm’s Data Lifecycle Management (DLM) and Data Governance programs.

Support the development and enforcement of data‑centric security policies, standards, and operating procedures.

Work with Data Owners and Stewards to validate classification requirements and ensure ongoing data protection across the lifecycle.

Partner with GTech and Enterprise Architecture to ensure integrations align with global DSPM frameworks and strategy.

Experience with DSPM vendor solutions (e.g., Veronis, Proofpoint, Cyberhaven) based on business needs and risk posture.

Cross‑Functional Incident Response Support

Support escalations for data‑related security incidents in coordination with Legal, Compliance, GTech, and Business units.

Participate in investigations involving data leakage, unauthorized access, or policy violations.

Skills

Attention to detail and accuracy

Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities

Collaborative mindset across IT, Legal, and Compliance

Ability to translate compliance requirements into technical controls

Commitment to continuous improvement and data stewardship
