You will help identify risks, strengthen security controls and contribute to the organisation’s wider information security objectives.

Key responsibilities will include monitoring and investigating security events, responding to incidents and supporting vulnerability management activities. You will assess systems and proposed changes against security standards, recommend appropriate remediation, and assist with the development and maintenance of security policies, procedures and technical documentation. The role will also involve collaborating with infrastructure, engineering, architecture and delivery teams to embed security throughout the technology lifecycle.
