This is a newly created role reporting to the Information Security Manager, focused on strengthening the firm’s security posture. The role sits firmly in the second line of defence, with an emphasis on governance, policy, and assurance rather than day\u2011to\u2011day operations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The core focus is security assurance testing, particularly penetration testing. You will ensure testing is appropriately scoped, meaningful, and followed through to resolution. You will also embed security assurance into IT projects and change initiatives by defining security requirements, reviewing designs, and working with technical teams to mitigate security risks arising from change.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
