• Provide consultancy within the UK Security team on the security aspects of business goals and plans outside CTO
• Build secure solutions which can be measured, for example on Coverage, Quantity, and Quality metrics, and can be moved into a supportable and maintainable Business as Usual state
• Assist the rest of UK Security producing risk assessments of Group and 3rd party tools and platforms, as required
• Provide technical consultancy on 3rd party risk for specific solutions
• Act as subject matter expert to the business and to other members of the Security team as required
• Proactively investigate new threats to the business and propose solutions to address them
