Role Overview

As a Technical Security Advisor, you’ll sit at the centre of delivery, working alongside the business teams to make sure everything we design, build, and adopt is secure by default. You’ll review solutions before they go live, challenge where needed, and give clear approval where standards are met. You’ll shape how we think about security, defining standards, improving controls, and making sure documentation is practical, relevant, and used. A big part of the role is understanding risk. You’ll identify where we’re exposed, work with teams to fix it in a pragmatic way, and track how well those controls are actually working over time. You’ll also support accreditation and ensure anything new, whether it’s software, infrastructure, or platforms, meets the right level of assurance before it’s introduced. As the organisation evolves, so will the technology. You’ll help us stay ahead, particularly when it comes to AI and automation. That means making sure AI tools and bots are designed securely, protecting against risks like data leakage, misuse, and unauthorised access, and putting the right guardrails in place so teams can use them safely and confidently.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who understands security in the real world, someone who can balance risk with delivery and give clear, practical advice that teams can act on. You’ll already have experience in a technical security, assurance, or architecture role, with a solid grasp of how to secure modern environments across applications, infrastructure, and cloud. You’re comfortable reviewing designs, challenging decisions, and signing off when things meet the right standard. You know how to turn complex security concepts into straightforward guidance, and you build trust with stakeholders by being clear, pragmatic, and collaborative. You’re someone people come to for advice, not just because of what you know, but how you work. You’ll also be curious about what’s next. Whether it’s AI, new tooling, or evolving threats, you keep up to date and think about how to apply that knowledge in a way that genuinely improves security, not just adds complexity. Most importantly, you’re proactive. You spot gaps, suggest better ways of doing things, and take ownership of improving how security is embedded across the organisation. To be successful in this role you will be required to pass an enhanced security vetting process.
