What you’ll be doing:
- Recertification of accounts : Pulling and interrogating data through bespoke platforms

- Data management : Supporting data labelling & retention projects using Purview or similar
- Governance support : Involved in data loss prevention, labelling, and stakeholder engagement (including DPO)
- Practical incident response input : Advising IT on immediate steps during incidents, converting theory into quick, actionable responses

- Azure (beneficial) – IAM, monitoring, and security logging
Why this role?
- Be central to shaping data governance and security operations in a dynamic SME environment
- Hands-on exposure to a wide range of security tools and concepts (not siloed to audit work)
- Opportunity to advise and influence IT directly on practical security decisions
- Work alongside experienced InfoSec leadership who value mentoring and professional growth
