  • Advisory – You will provide specialist advice and interpretation of Information Security best practice and UK regulatory requirements to a range of different stakeholders as new products, processes and systems are developed. You will need to be aware of your own knowledge gaps and when & where to seek specialist input to solve a particular problem or query
  • Subject Matter Expertise – You will develop a deep knowledge of the Banks secure change processes and procedures, shepherding your workstream through various assessments and approval gates
  • Relationship Management – You will build deep, trust based relationships with key stakeholders within your delivery team such as developers, testers, product managers, delivery leads and tech leads. You will be an active member of the delivery team, attending daily stand-ups, PI planning sessions and working groups.
