Due to our continued growth, we are seeking professionals within information security to join our growing Lead Auditor teams who support a breadth of clients across the UK. With onsite practical experience and deep knowledge of industry processes, policies, and regulations, you\'ll help clients reach their full potential. While internal audit experience is helpful, it\'s not mandatory as we offer comprehensive training via our academy. Following your Global and Divisional inductions, you will embark on a 12-week training programme, including classroom and onsite learning with a Senior Lead Auditor to achieve your Lead Auditor qualifications within Quality Management Systems (9001) and Information Security Management Systems (27001).

Ideal candidates may have worked in roles such as IT Systems Architect, Cloud Systems Engineer, Network Engineer, Cyber Intelligence Specialist, Digital Forensics Analyst or similar positions. We are open to considering candidates with relevant experience beyond these specific roles. Your expertise in the field is essential for this role.

As this role will involve regional and national travel, you should be comfortable with overnight stays and have a full driving licence. You should be a confident communicator both verbally and written and have positive influencing skills. Thorough and concise report-writing experience is essential to this role.
