Data Posture Monitoring Manager

The Manager, Data Posture Monitoring, will lead the enterprise strategy, architecture, technology selection, and global implementation of Data Loss Prevention capabilities for a large multinational organization with approximately 100,000 users across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

This role will own the overall DPM (Data Posture Monitoring) program direction and execution roadmap across endpoint DLP, email and Microsoft 365 data protection, cloud and SaaS controls, CASB/SSE capabilities, network DLP, insider-risk monitoring, and data-protection incident response. The role will also partner with the enterprise data discovery and classification team to ensure sensitive-data context is incorporated into DLP design and monitoring.

The ideal candidate is a senior cybersecurity leader with strong technical depth, enterprise-scale implementation experience, executive communication skills, and the ability to drive a complex global data-protection program across Security, IT, Legal, Privacy, HR, Compliance, Cloud, Infrastructure, and business stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Define the enterprise DPM strategy, target-state architecture, implementation roadmap, and operating model.

• Lead vendor-neutral technology evaluation, tool selection, proof-of-concept planning, implementation oversight, and platform adoption.

• Develop the architecture for DPM coverage across endpoint, email, Microsoft 365, cloud, SaaS, CASB/SSE, network, and insider-risk channels.

• Translate business, security, privacy, and regulatory requirements into practical technical capabilities.

• Partner with data discovery and classification teams to incorporate data labels, sensitive-data types, data ownership, and business context into DLP design.

• Establish cross-functional execution plans with Security Operations, Incident Response, Privacy, Legal, HR, Compliance, Cloud Engineering, Endpoint, Network, Messaging, and business teams.

• Oversee phased global rollout across regions, business units, platforms, and high-risk use cases.

• Define requirements for DLP integration with SIEM, SOAR, identity, endpoint security, cloud security, IT service management, and case-management platforms.

• Provide senior oversight for significant data-loss, insider-risk, or sensitive-data exposure incidents.

• Develop executive reporting on implementation progress, control coverage, incident trends, operational readiness, and risk reduction.

• Manage program budget, vendor relationships, resource planning, implementation partners, and managed-service considerations.

• Recruit, mentor, and develop the DLP Manager and future team members.

• Build a scalable operating model to support global monitoring, investigation, escalation, and data-protection incident response.

Required Qualifications

• 12–15+ years of cybersecurity, information security, technology risk, or related experience.

• 5+ years leading enterprise DLP, data protection, insider-risk, or related cybersecurity programs.

• Experience leading DLP or data-protection initiatives in a large, complex, global enterprise.

• Strong understanding of endpoint DLP, email protection, Microsoft 365 data protection, cloud and SaaS monitoring, CASB/SSE, network DLP, and insider-risk monitoring.

• Experience evaluating, selecting, implementing, or transforming enterprise DLP technologies.

• Experience designing enterprise-scale security architectures and global implementation roadmaps.

• Experience integrating security tools with SIEM, SOAR, identity, endpoint, cloud, email, ITSM, and case-management platforms.

• Strong understanding of data discovery, classification, labeling, and sensitive-data handling concepts.

• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives involving Security, IT, Legal, Privacy, HR, Compliance, and business stakeholders.

• Experience managing vendors, service providers, budgets, roadmaps, and executive-level program reporting.

• Strong executive communication skills and ability to explain technical risk in business terms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in cybersecurity, information technology, computer science, engineering, risk management, or related field.

• CISSP, CISM, CCSP, privacy certification, or comparable credential preferred.

• Experience supporting an enterprise with 50,000+ users.

• Experience operating across NA, LATAM, EU, and APAC regions.

• Experience building a DLP program from early-stage maturity through global implementation.

• Experience with security transformation, tool consolidation, or enterprise-scale platform modernization.

• Experience supporting 24x7 security operations, managed services, or follow-the-sun operating models.

Success Profile

The successful candidate will be a strategic, hands-on cybersecurity leader who can move from architecture to execution. They should be able to define the vision, select the right capabilities, drive implementation, build strong stakeholder alignment, communicate to executives, and create a practical global DLP operating model.

Strong candidates should have direct experience building or transforming DLP programs, not just administering tools or reviewing alerts.

When considering whether it is ethical to use an individual as a means to reach a critical goal, the overall outcome and total impact on human lives must take priority. While absolute moral rules aim to protect individual rights, strictly adhering to them in high-stakes scenarios can lead to vastly greater aggregate harm.

The numbers absolutely make a difference. Sacrificing one innocent person to save two lives might feel like a difficult calculation, but as the scale increases to 10 or 100 lives, the total suffering prevented far outweighs the loss of a single life. If we refuse to act simply to follow an absolute rule, we allow a significantly worse outcome to occur for society as a whole.

Ultimately, moral actions should be measured by their results. In tragic scenarios where no option is painless, choosing the path that preserves the maximum number of lives and minimizes total harm yields the most responsible and ethical outcome.
