The role focuses on security governance, risk management, policy, and programme delivery, working across IT, cyber, personnel security, and wider business functions. A key element of the role will include strengthening the organisation’s approach to insider threat and hybrid risk, in line with HMG and Cabinet Office policy, but this sits within a broader information security remit.

Work closely with IT and cyber teams to ensure security is embedded in:

  • IT operations
  • System design and change
  • Access control and identity management
  • Support alignment between technical security controls and governance requirements
  • Insider Threat & Hybrid Risk (Part of Wider Scope)
  • Support the development and governance of insider threat and insider risk controls
  • Ensure alignment with Cabinet Office and NPSA guidance where applicable
  • Promote joined-up working between cyber security, personnel security, and other functions

Stakeholder Engagement & Consulting

  • Engage with senior stakeholders across multiple business units or licensees
  • Communicate complex security and risk topics to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Provide pragmatic, proportionate security advice that enables the business

Skills & Experience Required -

Essential -

Significant experience in IT security, cyber security, or information security consulting

Strong background in:

  • Information security governance
  • Risk management
  • Policy and standards development
  • Experience operating in regulated, complex, or government-aligned environments
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Ability to work at both strategic and delivery levels

Desirable -

  • Familiarity with standards and frameworks such as:
  • ISO/IEC 27001
  • NIST
  • Government security policy frameworks
  • Exposure to insider threat, personnel security, or hybrid risk domains
  • Security clearance (SC) or eligibility
