What’s the role?

Working within IT Cyber Security Direction we'll ask you to assess, influence, and assure security designs, helping change be delivered both securely and at pace. Working with the support of the team, you'll look to ensure that the Group’s security objectives are designed directly into our systems by the security design engineers. If you have an eye for detail and would enjoy the challenge assisting technical security designers across different projects, then you could be just the Security Specialist we’re looking for.

Responsibilities Include;

• Evaluating security models and designs; identifying and understanding any risks arising from weaknesses or non-compliances against the bank’s security standards.

• Advising designers on how to interpret and apply security standards and producing detailed guidance where it can be useful to colleagues in future.

• Identifying issues with the application of the security standards through the design assurance process, collaborating with the team to consider whether any changes to them would be appropriate.

• Describing any issues identified clearly and suggest resolutions to colleagues and senior management.

So who are we looking for?

An individual who is highly motivated with a keen focus on improving both themselves and the services they offer the rest of the bank. With a fair understanding of the cyber threat landscape, candidates should have some experience across a range of security disciplines and be able to apply that security expertise when performing design assessments to ensure risks are correctly identified and mitigated.

You’ll be supporting the dynamic demands of projects and associated change activities, and accustomed to working with technical teams. With an ability to delve into the detail across security disciplines, you’ll help shape technical security engineers’ approach to designs.

Successful candidates will demonstrate their:

• Background and knowledge covering more than one security field (e.g., Networks, Data Security, Application Security and Identity & Access Management).

• Understanding of technical security risks & controls and management of these, supported by experience or possibly accreditation e.g. CCSP / CISSP / CISM

• Understanding of security standards, patterns and guidance.

• Appreciation of security across traditional systems, cloud hosting and third party assurance.

• A focus on customers and delivering good outcomes, with strong organising skills.

• Ability to build & maintain relationships within the team and across other Group security functions.

They will best deliver in their role through possessing the following capabilities:

• Eagerness for staying on top of industry trends / initiatives.

• A curiosity for new or existing Cyber Security technologies.

• Capability to apply pre-defined security objectives to both familiar and unfamiliar technologies.

• Confidence to challenge designs or processes to ensure secure, improved outcomes.
