WORKING IN INFOSEC AT S-RM

This is an opportunity to join a company where infosec is embedded into the culture. Our client services include a world‑class cyber security team which means we think critically about our own security practices at all levels. We see information security as an asset, not a cost centre, and we invest in those who lead it.

This investment means listening to those who know most about our security and supporting their ideas. Our information security function has a growing and very influential voice within S‑RM. Infosec staff are encouraged to speak openly about their ideas for improvement, and regular access to senior leadership is guaranteed.

This approach is how we stay ahead of the threats to our business and our clients. S‑RM is growing fast. The information security challenges this generates means no day is the same. We believe the variety of work and the team you’ll accomplish it with present immense opportunities for career development. Our teams are designed to bring out our best whilst also creating opportunities for everyone to contribute and grow.

If that sounds like your kind of team, we’d like to hear from you.
