This role is eligible for inclusion in the Company's hybrid working from home policy.

• Working knowledge of industry standard information security practices.
• Knowledge of developments in security technologies and their applications.
• Awareness of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) at current version.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills, as well as high attention to detail.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work to deadlines.
• Pragmatic approach to the administration of governance and risk.
• Display a committed, flexible, can‑do attitude towards work.

• Overseeing the daily security operational processes and acting as an escalation point where necessary.
• Responding to, and reporting on, system alerts from various monitoring technologies.
• Leading the project process to ensure that information security aspects are considered up front and throughout the project lifecycle.
• Developing a thorough understanding of the Business, whilst supporting other members of the team.
