  • Provide consultancy within the UK Security team on the security aspects of business goals and plans outside CTO.
  • Build secure solutions which can be measured, for example on Coverage, Quantity, and Quality metrics, and can be moved into a supportable and maintainable Business as Usual state.
  • Assist the rest of UK Security producing risk assessments of Group and 3rd party tools and platforms, as required.
  • Provide technical consultancy on 3rd party risk for specific solutions and act as subject matter expert to the business and to other members of the Security team as required.
  • Proactively investigate new threats to the business and propose solutions to address them.

What you'll bring:

  • Proven experience working in an Information Security role previously implementing information security controls across a range of technologies, e.g., Security Architect, or Security Project Lead.
  • A strong customer focus to ensure internal stakeholder needs are met.
  • Experience of cloud technologies.
  • Information Security risk management processes and best practice.
  • Disciplined and organised mind-set with a good attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to negotiate and resolve conflict.
  • Excellent time management skills, including the ability to manage a demanding and variable workload with tight deadlines.
  • Good reasoning skills and the ability to clearly identify key issues.

Desirable:

  • CISSP, CISM or other equivalent foundational security qualifications or experience.
  • CEH, OSCP, GIAC or other penetration testing security qualifications or experience.
  • SABSA, SANS or other technical architecture qualifications.
  • SAFE, Scrum, or other Agile methodology experience.
  • Data Protection, Risk, Legal or HR qualifications or experience.

What we offer:

  • Competitive annual salary of up to £75,000 dependent on experience.
  • Annual company & performance-based bonus.
  • Contributory pension scheme (up to 12% employer contributions).
  • Life Assurance (up to 10 x annual salary).
