It’s never been more important for us to protect our business, members and customers, and now we need talented information security consultants to join us and help deliver the InfoSec strategy.

In this role you’ll focus on the analysis of business processes and technical environments, identification and management of risk, and help to strengthen internal controls across a variety of projects and existing systems.

- contribute to the development of InfoSec strategies, roadmaps, business cases and remediation plans

- review end-to-end solution architectures to ensure resilience and security requirements are met in a pragmatic and cost-effective manner

- scope and manage penetration testing engagements and support our colleagues in the management of risks and the remediation process

- support the supplier selection processes following requests for information (RFIs) and requests for proposal (RFPs), using formal due diligence procedures

- work with other information security consultants to share knowledge and experiences

This role would suit people who have

- experience in InfoSec consultancy, or security management (ideally in a regulated environment)

- experience working with enterprise IT organisations

- an in-depth understanding of the ISO27000 series, PCI DSS standards and financial regulations

- strong relationship management skills, with the ability to challenge and influence at all levels
