Company Description

We’re one of the UK’s leading insurers, protecting more than 2.5 million people in their homes and on the roads when they need us most.

Our journey started back in 2000 – a small company with a pioneering spirit to sell insurance direct through our esure and Sheilas’ Wheels brands. We’ve grown a lot since then, but we’ve held onto that pioneering spirit every step of the way.

Now, we’re onto the next part of our game-changing story. We’re giving our customers a world-class digital experience, together with a human touch when it’s needed most. And we’re working hard to be a force for good in our communities and for our planet. It’s part of our mission to fix insurance for good, so we can help our customers lead fuller lives.

Our people are our superpowers! Our strong insurance heritage is boosted by colleagues’ unique skills, strengths, backgrounds, and experiences. They bring diverse thinking and proven track records in some of the most advanced tech and customer-focused industries – all to offer products and experiences our customers love.

Job Description

What you’ll do:

We are looking for a Data Risk Lead to play a key role in the delivery of the Data Protection and Privacy framework in a fast paced and data/decision led environment, ensuring delivery to a high standard in an agile environment.

You will be an ambassador in embedding esure’s privacy and data protection framework through engagement with business stakeholders, driving implementation solutions and supporting further development of the privacy risk related controls environment.

You’ll influence strategies across Data Protection, Data Governance and Data risk programmes, and strengthen risk and control matrices for data and systems

Supporting esure's transformation programme, you will ensure Privacy by Design is part of the culture and maintain a data map as per regulatory requirements.

How you’ll do it:

We’re on the hunt for colleagues who:

  • Dare to do different – you think outside the box, push boundaries to challenge the status quo, and roll up your sleeves to turn ideas into action.
  • Ace what matters most – you have a knack for knowing what’s most important for colleagues and customers, and that’s where you channel your energy.
  • Play strong as one – you celebrate everyone’s unique strengths to get the best results, and you’re not afraid to test and learn as you go.

In return, we’ll help you bring your best and truest self to work every day. That’s because inclusion matters to us. We learn and grow from colleagues’ diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. So, we’ll celebrate your most authentic self and help you balance the things that matter most – both work and play.

Qualifications

The skills you’ll bring:

  • A passion for data protection and privacy or a willingness to learn and develop
  • Ability to understand both internal and external customers’ needs and to use this information to benefit customers and the business overall
  • Experience of working with senior stakeholders and delivering projects within an agile environment
  • Understanding of data and technology risks

Everyone brings something special, so don’t worry if you don’t meet all the requirements for this role. If there’s something you haven’t done yet, it’s likely you can learn it here (and bring a fresh perspective while you’re at it!). Just come ready to learn, get stuck in, and share your unique skills to help us fix insurance for good. And if you need any adjustments to make this role work for you, please get in touch.
