We are seeking an experienced Senior Security Consultant – Data Security to provide expert guidance on protecting sensitive information across complex technology environments. You will work with stakeholders at all levels to assess data security risks, shape practical solutions and support the delivery of robust controls aligned with business and regulatory requirements.

In this role, you will lead data security assessments, identify vulnerabilities and recommend improvements across data classification, governance, access management, encryption, retention and loss prevention. You will contribute to security architecture and design reviews, ensuring that new systems, applications and services are built with appropriate protections from the outset.

You will advise on the implementation and ongoing improvement of data protection controls, policies and standards. Responsibilities will include producing risk assessments, security requirements, design documentation and remediation plans, as well as supporting audit activity, incident investigations and responses to data-related security events.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in strengthening data security maturity, supporting secure transformation and helping to protect critical information in an evolving threat landscape.
