About the role

National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) is at the heart of energy in the UK. The electricity we provide gets the nation to work, powers schools and brings energy to life. Our energy network connects the nation, so it is essential that it is continually evolving, advancing, and improving.

In NGET we are passionate about both operating our network safely and providing highly reliable quality of supply for our customers. At the heart of achieving these outcomes is the effective control and operation of our network.

As Senior Cyber Risk analyst you’ll have the opportunity to shape the Operational Technology (OT) cyber security strategy for NGET, supporting the creation of new policies, frameworks and specifications to understand and manage cyber security risk in the team.

You’ll ensure new and changed standards grow our cyber security maturity within the organisation, are proportionate to the risk and are in line with NGET’s security & resilience strategies.

Providing expert technical support for the risk assessment of vulnerabilities and deviations from the target state, you’ll agree mitigating actions to reduce risk. You’ll also manage the OT risk registers and support the business to understand cyber security risks through appropriate reporting and communication of current risks and vulnerabilities.

This role is based at our office in Warwick for 2 days of the week and can be combined with hybrid working from home.

Familiarity with international standards related to cyber security including IEC 62443 is key as is a relevant security risk qualification (e.g. CRISC, FAIR). A sound understanding and proven experience of ISO27000, NIST CSF and audit processes, are also important.

In addition, strong data analytical skills, excellent written and communication skills and the ability to interface comfortably with senior stakeholders, whilst demonstrating autonomy and initiative, are essential, as is the ability to work under tight deadline pressures across multiple workstreams.
