• Conducting threat and vulnerability assessments for macOS devices, MDM platforms, developer tooling, remote access, and cloud-native infrastructure.
• Promoting secure-by-design practices, collaborating with security architects, engineering, DevOps, and testing teams.
• Interfacing with stakeholders to secure necessary approvals and accreditation.
• Maintaining assurance registers and contributing to programme-wide risk management and reporting.

We are seeking candidates with a strong understanding of endpoint and device assurance, ideally with experience in macOS and MDM platforms such as Jamf, Intune, or Workspace ONE, and with:

• Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor
• Experience leading security assurance in central government or similar high-assurance environments
• Deep understanding of security assurance frameworks, including NCSC Cloud Security principles, GDS Service Standards, and government accreditation processes
• Hands-on experience producing RMADS, SyOps, DPIAs, and related artifacts

Other preferred skills include experience in DevSecOps or agile environments, knowledge of Zero Trust architecture, IAM, and cloud-native security practices.
