Job Description

Step into the spotlight as a vital member of our Cyber Security Chapter! In this role, you’ll lead efforts to identify and address security and resilience gaps across our products and platforms, ensuring that confidentiality, integrity, and availability of services are protected in line with both internal and external Security and Business Resilience frameworks.

Working closely with Tribes, Squads, and their Leads, you’ll play a key part in embedding effective security and resilience controls into everything we do. By helping these teams clearly define and implement security and resilience requirements, you’ll ensure we stay ahead of the game. You'll also be guiding the documentation and reuse of security patterns, always keeping in line with our Design Principles.

Beyond the technical, you’ll be a leader for our internal Business Continuity Management System and a mentor to your squads. Your passion for cybersecurity will shine through as you promote awareness and build a culture of resilience across the business. If you love to lead with a collaborative, security-first approach, this role is made for you.
