  • An understanding of OT/industrial security and the challenges of securing operational environments.
  • A proactive, delivery-focused mindset with the ability to operate autonomously and navigate ambiguity.

You must be UK-based and hold, or be able to achieve, UK Government SC clearance.

This is an excellent opportunity to shape a growing Security Architecture function, influence major technology programmes and work at the forefront of security, and emerging technology.
