Key responsibilities:

  • Provide security advice to and participate in business technology development and infrastructure initiatives to help ensure that security is considered from the outset.
  • Adopt a risk-based approach to embedding security into the organisation's technology architectures providing patterns and templates that can help harden the organisations operating models.
  • Validate security configurations and engage with internal audit to provide security architecture expertise.
  • Perform threat modelling of JD Group's technology and applications in the context of the organisation's risk appetite, the threat landscape and the classification of the data being processed.

What We're Looking For:

  • Proven expertise in Information Security Architecture best practices.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of information security controls and the primary control frameworks currently recognised as examples of best practice (CIS, NIST, ISO etc.).
  • Aware of the predominant operating systems within the retail sector, including but not limited to Windows, Linux, and Unix.
  • Aware of Database technologies (SQL, Oracle, DB2, Mongo) and associated threats.

The JD Group offers a range of benefits, including incremental holiday allowance, staff discount on qualifying purchases, exclusive colleague bike discount scheme, and discounted gym membership. You will also have access to personal development opportunities to learn and develop at work, as well as apprenticeships and accredited qualifications.

Interested in this role? Applications that meet the skills criteria will be contacted for a 1st stage meeting with the talent team.
