  • Work closely with IT and business teams to embed security into processes and decision-making
  • Help shape and improve security policies, frameworks, and engagement processes
  • Act as a key point of contact for security advice and assurance

  • Be comfortable interpreting vulnerability reports/logs and translating findings into action
  • Have knowledge of security frameworks such as ISO27001, NIST, or similar
  • Demonstrate experience in risk assessments, policy development, and security governance
  • Ideally hold or be working towards certifications such as CISM, CISSP, or CISA

  • Bring experience in information security risk, advisory, and compliance roles
  • Be comfortable interpreting vulnerability reports/logs and translating findings into action
  • Have knowledge of security frameworks such as ISO27001, NIST, or similar
  • Demonstrate experience in risk assessments, policy development, and security governance
  • Ideally hold or be working towards certifications such as CISM, CISSP, or CISA

Key Skills

  • Engaging and diplomatic communicator - able to influence without alienating
  • Skilled in encouraging behavioural change around security practices
  • Confident in challenging stakeholders constructively when required
  • Able to translate technical risk into clear, actionable insight
  • Strong stakeholder management across both technical and business teams
  • This role requires someone who can strike the right balance between guidance and governance - encouraging best practice while ensuring compliance where it matters most.

Why Apply?

  • Opportunity to shape and influence security strategy in a large-scale environment
  • Highly collaborative culture with strong stakeholder engagement
  • Excellent benefits including 30 days leave and a generous pension
