Job description

Senior Information Security Specialist

Highly Remote | Security Architecture | Cyber Security | £65,365

We're looking for an experienced Information Security, Information Assurance, Cyber Security or Security Architecture professional to join a collaborative team delivering secure technology across major digital transformation programmes.

Working alongside architects, engineers and project teams, you'll provide trusted technical assurance across cloud, infrastructure and enterprise technologies, helping to embed Secure by Design principles from the outset. If you enjoy solving complex security challenges and influencing technical decisions through pragmatic, risk-based advice, this could be the opportunity you're looking for.

The Role

As a senior member of the Information Assurance team, you'll provide expert advice across a broad portfolio of technology and business change projects.

Working closely with architects, technical specialists and suppliers, you'll review solution designs, assess technical risk and ensure Secure by Design principles are embedded throughout the technology lifecycle. You'll help teams balance security with operational delivery, providing practical, risk-based advice that enables secure outcomes.

You'll also contribute to security standards, support supplier assurance, assist with audits and security incidents, and mentor colleagues across the wider Information Assurance function.

What You'll Bring

You'll have experience in Information Security, Information Assurance, Cyber Security, Security Architecture or Technical Security within a complex or highly regulated environment.

You'll ideally bring experience of:

  • Information Security, Information Assurance, Cyber Security or Security Architecture
  • Secure by Design and security design reviews
  • Cloud, infrastructure and enterprise security
  • Technical risk assessment and security assurance
  • NIST Cyber Security Framework, ISO 27001 or similar security standards
  • Working closely with architects, engineers and project delivery teams
  • Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISMP, CISM or equivalent

Experience gained within government, defence, emergency services, critical national infrastructure or other highly regulated organisations would be advantageous. We're also keen to hear from candidates with transferable experience gained in other complex environments.

The Kind of Person Who'll Thrive

Technical expertise is important, but so is your approach.

You'll enjoy working collaboratively to solve security challenges, building credibility through sound judgement and practical advice. You're comfortable challenging decisions where needed, but your focus is always on finding proportionate solutions that support successful delivery.

You'll communicate confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, work with a high degree of autonomy and enjoy sharing your knowledge to support the development of others.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to influence how security is embedded across modern technology programmes while working alongside experienced architects and technology professionals.

In return, you'll benefit from:

  • Circa £65,365 salary
  • Highly remote working, with occasional travel to offices across Oxfordshire or Hampshire
  • 30 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Local Government Pension Scheme
  • Ongoing professional development and support for industry certifications
  • Interesting, technically varied work with genuine influence across technology and change initiatives

Requirements

  • Full UK driving licence
  • Ability to obtain and maintain the required level of vetting

Interested?

Whether your background is in Information Security, Information Assurance, Cyber Security, Security Architecture or Technical Security, this is an opportunity to apply your expertise to complex technology challenges and help shape secure digital services.
