Enterprise DLP Administrator

Role Overview

The DLP Administrator is
responsible for designing, implementing, and operating data protection
solutions with a primary focus on Data Loss Prevention (DLP). This role ensures
that robust data protection practices are integrated into business processes,
IT systems, and user behavior. A key objective is to establish best-in-class
data protection capabilities in an environment with less data security
awareness and cultural challenges, such as widespread data sharing or
unauthorized data transfers.

As a subject matter expert
in data security and privacy engineering, this individual deploys and tunes
data discovery, classification, DLP, encryption, and key management controls.
The Data Protection Engineer partners closely with Engineering, IT, Compliance,
Legal, and Privacy stakeholders to embed privacy-by-design principles into how
data is created, stored, shared, retained, and monitored.

Key Responsibilities

–      Data
Loss Prevention (DLP) design, evaluation, finalize & implement of a DLP
solution aligned with business needs and data protection risks

–      Implement
and tune sensitivity labels, and data classification rules based on business
and regulatory requirements.

–      Define
and maintain DLP policies and rules to detect and prevent unauthorized data
access, transfer, or leakage

–      Manage
DLP policy lifecycle including versioning, change control, exception handling,
and periodic policy reviews

–      Monitor
DLP alerts and ensure timely investigation, triage, and response

–      Continuously
refining DLP configuration based on insider threat trends, user behavior, and
business feedback

–      Collaborate
with client users - IT, process owners, and application teams to embed data
protection controls into systems and workflows

–      Perform
data discovery, flow analysis and risk assessments to identify sensitive data
exposure points

–      Define
and apply classification, access control, and encryption strategies wherever
needed

–      Work
closely with the awareness team to develop targeted campaigns focused on
responsible data handling and the risks of data leakage

–      Engage
with teams to understand behaviors and perceptions around data use and design
appropriate behavioral change strategies

–      Actively
contributes to the development of a data protection culture in units with low
initial awareness and high risk of data misuse.

–      Compliance
Support or Ensure that implemented controls align with data protection
regulations and internal security policies

–      Support
audits, assessments, and compliance reviews related to data security

–      Maintain
documentation for data protection controls, configurations, and incidents
handling

–      Having relevant cloud security
(Ex: SC-400) and respective tool expertise certifications will be an added
advantage

What We’re Looking For:

–     5+ years of minimum experience in data protection, as
cybersecurity specialist or architect

–     Hands-on experience with DLP technologies (e.g., Microsoft
Purview, Netskope, Varonis, Forcepoint, etc.), with a track record of
successful project delivery

–     Strong understanding of data protection principles (e.g., least
privilege, data classification, access control)

–     Experience working in environments with low data security
maturity or resistance to change is a strong plus

–     Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability
to influence behavioral change

–     Knowledge of privacy regulations and ISO 27001 is beneficial

–     Good knowledge and strong interest in Cyber Security
(best-practices, standards, technology) & good knowledge in IS/IT (network,
endpoint, cloud, application, …)

Key Competencies

-        Strong problem-solving and analytical
thinking

-        Ability to lead engineering initiatives and
mentor teams

-        Excellent communication and stakeholder
management skills

-        Passion for automation, innovation, and
continuous improvement
