Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Project Security Manager - **Company:** MBDA S.A.S. - **Location:** Stevenage, UK (Remote available) - **Salary:** £60,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Systems Engineering, Cyber Security - **Published:** September 25, 2026 - **Apply:** https://mbda.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/MBDA-UK/job/Stevenage/Project-Security-Manager_R39506/apply ## About the Role * Able to listen to, evaluate and resolve technical and process driven issues in a manner that upholds MBDAs reputation with our Customer; * Highly organised and able to distil complicated information or processes into coherent, manageable steps; * Strong people and engineering skills where a background in Systems Engineering is useful; * Knowledge of Product or Systems Security is desirable, but not essential ## Description An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Security Engineering team to be responsible for all aspects of Project Security on a specific Programme and help to shape the future of this type of role as a distinct domain within the Security Engineering Department., The Security Engineering Department provides all Project teams across the business with skilled resources, Technical Experts and other specialist capabilities to manage the Security Engineering process throughout the Product Life Cycle phases. Alongside a highly technical Product Security Solution every Project requires a robust Project Security strategy. Historically, Project Security aspects have been managed as delegated tasks from the Chief Engineer to knowledgeable people within the team, usually the Product Security Domain Lead. Most of our Products now involve iterative (spiral) development cycles and expanded export strategies meaning the amount of Project Security effort required has outgrown the model of being an ad hoc part of a Security Engineer's role. There now exists a collection of highly important and necessary roles and responsibilities that need to be managed across multiple stakeholders and export campaigns. Furthermore, the complex technical nature of our Projects usually means that answers are nuanced and require detailed navigation of process/procedure to achieve an appropriate risk-balance. The complexity and scope of Project Security activities now necessitates a dedicated Project Security Manager role to own and manage the activities, act as a centralised point of contact, harmonise practice across Missile Design Projects and provide coherency and consistency in the domain. Initially there will be a single role deployed onto a specific Product Line, however the longer-term strategy is to develop a small departmental team formed from a number of these roles working together on a truly cross-project set of responsibilities. Specific duties are identified as follows: Owner of the Project Security Grading Guide(s): * Internal/External Stakeholder agreement; * Document update / maintenance; * General advisor for queries and interpretation; Project Release Approvals Manager * Liaise with the Security Engineering team to determine, agree, and understand export Red Lines; * Manage the Project-specific MoD Approval process for the release of information to 3rd parties (i.e. Export Customers / Suppliers) via liaison with appropriate internal and external stakeholders; * Support to export approval paperwork; Project Security Equipment Management * Coordinate the Project response to a centralised Secure Hardware Register and coordinate the Project application process; Formally act as the Project Security Representative as defined by Company Process * Continued liaison with the Security Operations Team on all security matters; * Act as the focal point with the MoD Customer Team on all security matters; * Production of the Project Security Questionnaire; * Coordinate production of the Project Security Plan; * Manage the progress of the Project against the Project Security Plan and any amendments to the Project Security Aspects Letter(s); * Production of the secure closure process upon completion of the project; Cross-project Responsibilities * Informs the Security Engineering Department on potential cross-project issues; * Records and disseminates best practice; * Identifies lessons learned from each Project, for future reference. This role is an opportunity for an organised, technically minded individual who relishes a challenge and wants to be part of shaping a new dedicated role in the Security Engineering Department. The role will provide exposure to Senior Project Leadership, the New Business team and Sales and Customer Stakeholders. It is dynamic and diverse in its activities and provides a real opportunity to be part of a technically complex and essential part of a Project delivery team., Employees receive 25 days of paid annual leave per calendar year, in addition to all statutory and public holidays.
