Information Security Officer
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Officer to support the development, implementation and continuous improvement of an organisation-wide information security programme. The successful candidate will help protect information assets, systems and services by identifying security risks, strengthening controls and promoting a culture of security awareness across the organisation. This role will work closely with technology, compliance, risk, procurement and operational teams, providing practical advice and constructive challenge on security matters.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining information security policies, standards and procedures; coordinating risk assessments, control reviews and remediation plans; and supporting compliance with relevant legislation, regulatory requirements and recognised security frameworks. You will contribute to security incident management, including investigation, reporting, lessons learned and follow-up actions, as well as assisting with vulnerability management, access governance, business continuity and disaster recovery activities. The role will also support supplier and third-party security assessments, security requirements for new projects and systems, audit preparation, and the production of clear management reports and risk metrics. Delivering security awareness training and communications will be an important part of the position.
Applicants should have demonstrable experience in information security, cybersecurity, risk management, governance or a closely related field, together with a good understanding of security controls, incident response and data protection principles. Experience working with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS is desirable, as is familiarity with cloud environments, identity and access management, vulnerability assessments and third-party assurance. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or equivalent, would be advantageous. You will need strong analytical and communication skills, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to explain technical risks clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. A proactive, collaborative approach and commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
