You’ll take ownership of our Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems, support compliance with data policies, and make sure our content stays secure and accessible. You’ll also work with teams across the organisation to share your expertise and ensure best practices are in place. You will be working on a hybrid basis with a mix of home and either our London or Wakefield office. This is a permanent role with some excellent benefits and a competitive package on offer.

• Collaborate closely with Information Security & Data Privacy teams to protect digital content and manage incidents.
• Drive innovation and continuous improvement in digital rights protection and secure content collaboration.
• Ensure high system availability, performance, and alignment with DRM and security standards.
• Influence key stakeholders and advise senior leaders on reputational risks and compliance strategies.

About you:

• Strong experience with DRM, DLP, SharePoint and cloud platforms.
• Deep knowledge of data governance and digital content protection.
• Great problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and influencing skills.
• The ability to explain complex ideas clearly to non-technical teams.
• Willingness to occasionally work outside standard hours to support critical DRM or data management activities.
• Knowledge of PowerShell scripting and automation tools.
• Awareness of relevant security standards (e.g. Cyber Essentials Plus).

We offer the opportunity to work in an innovative, engaging and market-leading organisation with opportunities to develop your existing skills and explore new ones. You’ll receive an excellent benefits package which typically includes a great base salary, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and buy/sell annual leave scheme, private medical healthcare, Life Assurance, Group Income Protection, enhanced Company Pension and many other voluntary benefits.
