You will act as a trusted security advisor to technology, engineering and business teams, influencing the design of secure solutions and helping shape the future direction of information security across the organisation.

• Assess vulnerabilities, review penetration testing results and support remediation activities.
• Monitor emerging threats and security trends, helping the business respond proactively.
• Contribute to the development and enhancement of security standards, policies and governance frameworks.
• Support the ongoing maturity of our Information Security Management System (ISMS).
• Lead security initiatives and improvement programmes.
• Mentor colleagues and promote security best practice across the organisation.

The knowledge, experience and qualifications you need

• Significant experience in Information Security, Cyber Security Consulting, Security Architecture or a similar senior security role.
• Strong knowledge of cloud security, particularly Azure and/or AWS environments.
• Experience securing enterprise infrastructure, platforms and applications.
• Strong understanding of recognised security frameworks including ISO 27001, NIST and CIS Controls.
• Experience delivering security improvements, security transformation initiatives or complex security programmes.
• Ability to balance security requirements with business objectives.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience influencing technical and non-technical audiences at all levels.

• Experience within financial services or another regulated industry.
• Security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent.
• Experience supporting cloud transformation, infrastructure modernisation or large-scale technology change programmes.

Why join us

• Work on complex security challenges across a growing financial services business.
• Influence major technology and business transformation initiatives.
• Collaborate with experienced technology, security and leadership teams.
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Hybrid working and flexible approach to office attendance.
• Opportunities for professional development and industry certification support.
