Lead and deliver cyber assurance activities across systems, services, and third-party suppliers
Assess and assure compliance against frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, Cyber Essentials, and NCSC guidance

Provide expert advice on security-by-design for new and existing services
Support audits, certifications, and regulatory requirements
Identify security gaps and work with stakeholders to define pragmatic remediation plans
Act as a senior cyber risk advisor to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Contribute to continuous improvement of assurance processes, tooling, and reporting

Essential:
Strong experience in cyber assurance, cyber risk, or information security governance
Proven knowledge of security standards and frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, NCSC, etc.)
Experience assessing technical and organisational security controls
Ability to translate cyber risk into clear, business-focused language
Confident stakeholder engagement at senior and delivery levels
Desirable:

Exposure to cloud, digital, or large transformation programmes
Relevant certifications (e.g. CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 LA/LI, CRISC)
What You’ll Bring
Strong judgement and professional curiosity
A pragmatic, risk-based mindset (not box-ticking)
Confidence to challenge constructively and influence decisions
A collaborative approach with delivery, architecture, and leadership teams
What’s in It for You
Opportunity to work on high-impact, complex environments
Influence real cyber outcomes, not just reports
Supportive, professional culture with room to grow
