The Security Education & Training team helps all Tesco colleagues with a strong focus on Technology to develop the skills, behaviours and confidence to work securely. We design and deliver engaging learning, drive culture change, support technical enablement, and empower colleagues to champion security in their daily work.

Security Engagement Partners play a key role in shaping and delivering this mission through multi‑disciplinary work across campaigns, technical uplift, security communities and colleague engagement. Our Security Engagement Partners support Technology colleagues in mastering the art of becoming a best‑in‑class Technology professional who takes pride in working securely to protect their solutions, our business and our customers.

Through the development of customised, relevant and engaging training materials and initiatives, our team empowers Technology colleagues to own and care about their own security; understanding the simplest and most effective ways to work securely in their role.

This role is about developing a community of Technology colleagues who are developing their security knowledge and experience, so they can empower their teams to become first‑rate Technology professionals. As our technology teams design solutions, different security obstacles arise, and this role is to help colleagues comprehend those problems; identify gaps in knowledge or resources and work closely with stakeholders and suppliers to deliver e‑learning, videos, webinars, workshops, blogs and a variety of other resources to help Technology teams navigate these changes securely.

• Attend industry events and forums to share knowledge and standard processes on the most up to date techniques for implementing security changes.
• Acquire feedback from champions during product trials and proof of concepts.

This role will suit somebody who enjoys working as part of a team; is confident in local and remote stakeholder management; is well organised; pragmatic and a lateral problem solver with an inquisitive mind.
