Manchester, United Kingdom Recann Full time £55,000 - £60,000
Job Summary:

Recann Recruitment is seeking an experienced IT Systems Information Security Officer to join a prestigious organization undergoing a large-scale transformation. As a key member of the Information Security team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and refining the organization's approach to information security governance, ensuring best practices are followed across all levels of the business.

About the Role:

This position focuses heavily on information security governance rather than technical execution, making it ideal for someone skilled at reviewing and improving best practices and ensuring compliance across the organization. Your work will not only impact individual departments but will resonate across the entire business, helping to secure data on a large scale.

You will work independently to build relationships with a variety of stakeholders, including legal, procurement, IT teams, and end users, to transform the organization's approach to information security. This role plays a critical part in changing the culture of security across the organization, helping ensure the protection of sensitive data belonging to hundreds of thousands of people.

Key Responsibilities:

- Take a leading role in shaping and refining the organization's approach to information security governance, ensuring best practices are followed across all levels of the business.
- Act independently and build strong relationships with stakeholders, including legal, procurement, IT, and end users, driving meaningful change.
- Review, implement, and improve information security governance practices across the organization, ensuring compliance with frameworks such as ISO27001/2:2022.

What We Offer:

- Enjoy a 20% pension contribution, private healthcare, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, and more.
- Generous Time Off: 26 days of annual leave (rising to 30 with service), plus bank holidays, an extra day off for your birthday, and the option to buy extra leave.
- Supportive Environment: Free lunches on-site, access to a free on-site gym, and wellbeing support to keep you focused and energized.

About the Organization:

Our client is a highly respected organization in the midst of a large-scale transformation, with significant funding to support growth and innovation. Their mission involves managing and securing vast amounts of critical data, and they are looking for an experienced professional to help ensure the security of this information as they expand.

Requirements:

- Strong knowledge of information security governance, with experience in reviewing and improving best practices.
- At least 5 years of experience in IT security roles (analyst, engineer, or governance), with a strong understanding of ISO27001/2:2022 and related frameworks.
- Experience working in an organization handling large-scale data collection, storage, or hosting is highly desirable.
