The Opportunity:

We're looking for a People Technology Security Specialist to strengthen and enhance the existing security framework across our People Team platforms. This role will focus primarily on ensuring secure access and data governance within Workday (HRIS), while also supporting related systems such as Greenhouse (ATS), Zendesk, Tableau, and various platforms where security oversight is required. 

You'll collaborate closely with IT Security, internal and external audit teams, the Data Privacy team, the Employee Relations team, and other stakeholders to drive ongoing improvements to our security framework. You'll be responsible for supporting employee and candidate-related audits, ensuring compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations, and broadening your expertise across the functional aspects of People systems — because security is integral to everything we do. 

In this role, you get to: 

Security Architecture & Governance 

• Take ownership of the security architecture for the People Team across all platforms, including Workday, Greenhouse, Zendesk, and Tableau. 

• Design, implement, and maintain secure access controls, role-based permissions, and cross-platform security standards. 

• Build functional knowledge to supplement security responsibilities — understanding how People systems work to make better security decisions. 

• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of and adherence to best practices in data handling, ensuring all data is managed securely and in compliance with relevant regulations and organisational policies. 

Compliance & Audit 

• Be actively involved in SOX audits when necessary, collaborating with internal and external auditors to provide required information and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. 

• Support employee and candidate-related audits, ensuring data governance and access controls meet GDPR and other data protection requirements.
