  • A phenomenal collaborative culture. Come find out for yourself what it’s like to be a part of our journey.

What you can expect to do here :

  • Develop and execute a comprehensive enterprise data security strategy aligned with business priorities and risk appetite.

  • Lead the design and implementation of secure data collaboration frameworks for internal and external business partners.
  • Establish Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and metrics to transparently measure program performance and communicate effectiveness to senior leadership using modern reporting tools.
  • Technology Solutions and Processes

  • Guide your team in evaluating, implementing, and managing advanced data security technologies (e.g., DLP / Purview, DRM).
  • Ensure solutions are optimally configured, integrated, and tuned to minimise business friction while reducing data exposure risk.
  • Stay ahead of emerging threats, technologies, and best practices to continuously strengthen WSP’s data security posture.
  • Direct the development, maintenance, and enforcement of data security policies, standards, and procedures.
  • Enhance data governance processes, including classification, handling, and secure sharing.
  • Lead incident response for data security events, ensuring rapid containment, remediation, and clear communication.
  • Leadership And People Responsibilities

  • Set yearly goals and targets for the services and follow up on their deliveries.
  • Manage, mentor and develop a team of data security specialists.
  • Develop strong cross‑functional working relationships with security and IT teams and align with WSP’s internal and external client demands.
  • Provide feedback on the governance process for continued improvement, especially on the operational parts.
  • Finance / Budgetary Responsibilities

  • Plan team capacity and resource needs (budgets) to ensure quality and resilient services in data security.
  • Evaluate and provide feedback on tooling and identify additional needs.
  • Oversee licensing, usage monitoring, and growth planning to ensure cost‑effective scalability.
  • What you’ll bring to WSP :

  • 7+ years related experience in data management.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, data sciences, or related field.
  • Strong analytical skills with a keen eye for detail and accuracy.
  • Familiar with risk management, including risk analysis, mitigation, and monitoring.
  • Knowledge of information security regulations applicable to WSP.
  • Familiarity with machine learning concepts is a plus.
  • Familiarity with IT Governance frameworks such as COBIT, ITIL and ISO 2700x, NIST.
  • Familiarity with governance, compliance, and audit within IT environments.
