Welcome to ZEISS – a company that combines innovation and responsibility! Our corporate functions are diverse and make a decisive contribution to the strategic orientation and sustainable success of ZEISS.

Your role

As the DLP Product Owner (f/m/x), you are responsible for the global Data Loss Prevention service that protects ZEISS information assets across cloud, endpoint, email, and collaboration platforms.

• Oversee service performance, quality, KPIs, compliance (e.g., GDPR, CSOPs), and full ITSM process adherence
• Ensure all service documentation and the Service Handbook remain up to date
• Communicate service changes, roadmap updates, and operational status to stakeholders across the organization
• Plan and lead DLP‑related projects of various sizes, including milestone definition, and controlling
• Support benchmarking, internal audits, and security/compliance initiatives

Your profile

• Proven experience with Data Loss Prevention technologies (e.g., Microsoft Purview DLP, Endpoint DLP, Cloud App Security, Email DLP)
• Strong background in IT Service Management, product ownership, or service delivery for security‑critical services
• Solid understanding of data protection, data classification, and regulatory requirements (GDPR, ISO27001, NIST)
• Experience working with external providers and managing SLAs, KPIs, and service quality
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to structure, prioritize, and drive complex topics
• Excellent communication skills in English; ability to collaborate with global teams and translate technical content for non‑technical audiences
