Full Job Description

This is a senior, project-facing Information Assurance position, embedded within technology delivery rather than operating as a purely governance function. You will support a range of high-impact programmes, including large-scale system implementations, network modernisation, and ongoing platform upgrades. Alongside this, there is a growing requirement to assess and manage risk associated with emerging technologies, particularly AI-enabled functionality within enterprise systems. Working closely with architects, delivery teams and suppliers, you will ensure security is considered early and applied in a proportionate, pragmatic way that enables delivery. What you will be doing

  • Leading Information Assurance activity across complex ICT projects and programmes
  • Supporting system accreditation and ensuring alignment with national and local standards
  • Assessing and articulating risk across modern technology environments, including SaaS and cloud
  • Embedding "secure by design" principles into delivery lifecycles
  • Producing and reviewing key security documentation, including risk assessments and design artefacts
  • Advising stakeholders on appropriate, proportionate and practical controls
  • Supporting the development of IA standards, policies and approaches
  • Providing guidance and informal mentoring to other team members
  • Engaging confidently with stakeholders across technical teams, business areas and suppliers

    You will bring a strong background in Information Assurance, IT Risk or GRC within a regulated environment, with experience of working across full project lifecycles.
    • You should be comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy, managing your own workload and working directly with stakeholders across both technical and non-technical teams. This role requires a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach. The team are looking for someone who can work constructively with delivery teams - enabling progress while maintaining appropriate levels of control. Experience of cloud platforms, SaaS environments or emerging technology risk (including AI) would be beneficial.
