Summary Job Description

Information Security Officer

Location: Thorpe Park, Leeds Flexible, Hybrid working available.

Join us as an Information Security Officer!

You'll play a central role in shaping and implementing our security strategy, ensuring it aligns with ISO 27001 standards. You'll manage and monitor risks, maintain compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and lead our response to cyber incidents, including simulations and investigations.

Your expertise will be embedded throughout the project lifecycle, offering guidance on security impact assessments and best practices. You'll also oversee third-party security by conducting due diligence and assessments, while promoting a strong security culture through awareness initiatives and tailored training programs.

What we are looking for:

• Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, CCSP, ISO 27001 Implementor, or equivalent.
• Strong knowledge of information security, risk management, and data protection-ideally within the financial sector.
• Proven ability to build effective relationships with stakeholders, including clients, regulators, and vendors.
• Experience within an Operational IT environment.
• Solid understanding of technical security controls, cloud environments, and secure software development.
• A relevant degree in IT, Cyber Security, or a related field.

If you're excited about this role but don't meet every requirement, don't worry, still apply. Your unique perspective could be just what we're looking for.

What you'll get:

• A discretionary annual bonus to reward your impact
• 3% flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle, whether that's extra cash, more holiday, or added health cover.
• Hybrid working for the best of both worlds-collaboration and focus.
• Free onsite parking, saving you time and money.
• Recharge and refresh opportunities with 28 days of holiday plus public holidays, and the option to buy up to five more-giving you more time for what matters most.
• Peace of mind with life assurance that supports your loved ones, no matter what.
• A culture that celebrates you and supports your wellbeing-with recognition awards, access to on-site gym facilities, and a dedicated programme of mindfulness webinars and classes to help you stay balanced, resilient, and feeling your best.
• Encouragement to be your authentic self at work by joining one of our vibrant employee networks-like Rise (Gender), Proud (LGBTQIA+), Culture, or Spark (Neurodiversity & Disability)-and connect with a community that celebrates and supports you.
