  • Chairing security reviews and working groups (internal & external)
  • Collaborating with engineering, QA, and product teams to ensure robust security integration

What were looking for

  • Experience in Project Security planning & implementation (e.g. NIST 800 series)
  • Strong background in Security/Information Assurance (e.g. NCSC, CESG guidelines)
  • Proven ability to deliver security documentation using SbD principles
  • Experience in security risk assessment methodologies
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to work autonomously and collaboratively
  • High attention to detail with a focus on quality, cost, and timely delivery
