Lead Information Security Analyst

Would you like to get involved in building security frameworks from the ground up, and improving existing processes & controls? Do you want to work for an organisation who don't view IT Security as a checkbox exercise performed in isolation, working towards a point where data and automation are used effectively to ensure that they’re focused on adding value in a way that contributes to business growth? Does Finance/FinTech interest you, and do you have a good knowledge of the associated regulations? If so, Be-IT have got a fantastic opportunity for you.

Our client, a market-leading FinTech firm who have recently gone through a large-scale merger, with more growth planned, are hiring for a Lead Information Security Analyst. Day to day in this role, you will spend your time:

Working with teams to document security controls

Using that information to improve understanding of wider security capabilities

Embedding security thinking into how the business works

Dealing with 3rd parties and auditors

Working with other teams who perform oversight in related areas including Data Governance, Operational Resilience, and Risk

Conducting tabletop discovery exercises to test assumptions

Supporting the incident response team when there is a security concern

Developing continuous improvement plans for the Security department and other teams

To be successful in this role, you should have a solid understanding and demonstrated experience of the above, plus:

Experience implementing ISO(phone number removed) / Cyber Essentials, or NIST Cyber Security frameworks, ideally within a finance landscape. An understanding of FCA or related regulations would be hugely beneficial

Experience of creating and facilitating risk assessments

Excellent communication & stakeholder engagement skills, both internally and with related 3rd parties, such as security/cloud providers

Experience of project management, documentation and reporting

Sound like you? In return, this business are offering an extremely competitive package including; £60-75k per annum, 10% bonus, non-contributory pension, private medical & life assurance, 34 days annual leave and paid training.
