Cyber Security Information Assurance Lead (Pre Ops)
An opportunity is available for a Cyber Security Information Assurance Lead (Pre Ops) to support the secure delivery and operational readiness of complex technology, infrastructure and business change programmes. The successful candidate will provide informed security and information assurance leadership from the pre-operational phase through to service acceptance, ensuring that risks are identified, assessed and managed before systems are introduced into live environments.
Responsibilities will include developing and maintaining security assurance plans, conducting risk assessments and supporting the production of security cases, accreditation evidence and risk treatment plans. You will work closely with delivery teams, architects, service owners, suppliers and operational stakeholders to ensure that security requirements are understood and embedded throughout the project lifecycle. The role will involve reviewing designs and technical documentation, assessing compliance with relevant policies, standards and regulatory obligations, and providing clear recommendations to support informed decision-making. You will also coordinate assurance activities, track remediation actions, challenge incomplete or ineffective controls, and contribute to go-live readiness reviews and formal acceptance decisions.
Applicants should have proven experience in cyber security, information assurance, security governance or risk management, ideally within complex or highly regulated environments. You will be confident interpreting security frameworks and standards, translating technical risks for non-technical audiences, and producing concise, evidence-based reports for senior stakeholders. Strong knowledge of security controls, risk assessment methodologies, system development lifecycles and operational readiness processes is required. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications in information security, audit, risk or assurance would be advantageous. Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder-management skills are essential, together with the ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and maintain a pragmatic, proportionate approach to security.
