An expert in information security and information risk management, this may be the most unique and important opportunity in your career to date. Not only will you assure data that matters hugely to the interests of the UK and our partners around the world. You’ll also have scope to reshape the way we do digital assurance. If you’ve got the skills and vision, this is your chance to step into a leadership role of great importance, with a small team of specialists who are passionate about our essential work.
At FCDO Services, we protect the UK’s interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings, courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech, and a whole lot more.
For our organisation, the safety and security of our teams and our information is more than a want, it’s a must. That’s what makes our Corporate Governance team so vital. They’re the people either supporting health and safety at home and overseas or protecting vital data. By following best practices, balancing interests, managing risks, and upholding policies they protect our organisation. Now, you've got the opportunity to join them.
Key Responsibilities
Create a digital assurance culture that protects data in the national interest. Manage digital assurance across FCDO Services – from IT, security and logistics, through to translation services and interior design data. Develop our vision and strategy for information security and cyber assurance, and take the lead on its implementation. Influence decisions around corporate information security matters including risks, assurance, compliance, threat and vulnerability management. Coordinate response in the event of an information security or IT related incident.
Minimum Requirements
Naturally, you’ll have a substantial track record in information security and information risk management, with professional qualifications such as CISSP/CESG and CISA/CISM/CRISC, plus expertise in ISO27001 compliance. But it’s your communication and stakeholder management skills that set you apart, whether you’re solving problems or influencing strategy and policy.
Every single colleague must be security cleared before joining us. If you’re successful in your application, we’ll ask you to undergo our vetting process to achieve Developed Vetting (DV) clearance.
Closing date: 16th February 2025.
The vital work we do takes an incredible community of colleagues, with different skills, backgrounds, cultures and identities. We support every individual, so that you always know you’re welcome and valued.
