At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.

We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That’s why we’re looking for someone talented, someone who wants to develop their skills, someone like you.

This is a newly created, leading role within Cancer Research UK’s Data Privacy Design & Assurance team which is part of our innovative Technology directorate. The team plays an essential role in providing Cancer Research UK leadership with an understanding of information security risk and assurance, ensuring effective controls are in place, and providing strategic vision and practical support to our technology portfolios and business teams.

As a Security Design & Assurance Lead, you will play an influential role in protecting the charity by embedding secure by design principles into the development and maintenance of the organisation’s technology products within an Agile framework. This will involve leading a team of Information Security Specialists and partnering with our Heads of Portfolio, Head of Architecture & Data, and other key stakeholders to have a strategic view of security design and assurance best practices across our Technology estate.

You will also maintain accurate information about our systems, data, and processes through which information and data are processed while monitoring compliance across the organisation with Information Security policies.

What will I be doing?
- Supporting the Heads of Portfolio and Head of Architecture & Data to ensure that the overall Technology ecosystem is designed in a secure way
- Leading a team of Information Security Specialists (each embedded within a Technology Portfolio team) to:

- Advise Product teams and the wider organisation on compliance with Information Security Policy and requirements
- Advise on best practice security architecture and systems configuration
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date information on Technology assets
- Map data and systems which involves systems integration, and undertaking and supporting security risk management (including threat monitoring and ongoing monitoring)
- Undertake due diligence on third parties and suppliers to ensure that they can comply with Information Security policy and requirements
- Undertake or facilitate security and control testing
- Provide or facilitate informal and formal assurance (e.g. PCI DSS, NHS Toolkit, Gambling Commission)
- Support security incident management
- Embedding information security and assurance good practice within own portfolio by providing staff-focused training material, ongoing awareness activity, and a comprehensive development approach for Technology colleagues
- Planning and driving scoping, requirements definition, and prioritisation activities for large, complex initiatives
- Horizon scanning and keeping informed of any potential or planned changes in the external environment (including but not limited to changes in the legal or regulatory requirements and industry best practices for cybersecurity, data protection, or information management).
- Partnering with external vendors and suppliers to maintain an up-to-date view of current cyber security trends and threats.
- Acting as a highly collaborative leader, role modelling Cancer Research UK leadership behaviours and values within the Technology Team and beyond.

What skills are you looking for?
- Information Security Architect, Information Risk & Assurance Lead, or InfoSec Controls Lead, or equivalent with a background in security architecture and data classification within a large organisation.
- Demonstrable background working within Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA Level 5+)
- Solutions-driven and outcome-focussed with experience identifying and mitigating security risks
- Subject matter expert in information security standards and practice (including PCI DSS and ISO 27001) with an understanding of relevant legislation (e.g., Data Protection Act 2018, UK General Data Protection Regulations, and Privacy of Electronic Communication Regulations).
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills with an ability to convey complex information to technical and non-technical audiences
- Background in people management (ideally within a matrix management framework).
