Project Manager – PII & Data Leakage (6 months)

Role Overview

Domestic & General is undertaking a critical programme to strengthen visibility, control, and governance of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and data leakage risk across our technology estate.

This programme addresses both:

• the identification and remediation of unstructured PII, and
• the implementation of proportionate Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls to reduce recurrence of data exposure and loss.

As part of this effort-supported by our enterprise PII scanning capability (Inventa) and a parallel DLP tooling initiative-we are seeking a highly capable Project Manager to lead cross-functional delivery across detection, remediation, prevention, and governance.

The role sits at the heart of our data privacy and information risk agenda, responding to internal audit actions, risk committee commitments, and evolving regulatory expectations.

The role will work closely with the Group Data Protection Office, Information Security, Technology, and business stakeholders, and will report directly into the Director of Transformation.
