• An understanding of cybersecurity principles and best practices, along with keeping up to date on current cyber threats and human-based attack methods.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Good influencing skills and credibility with stakeholders.
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple projects.

It’s a bonus if you have but not essential

• Relevant certifications in information security and training and development are a plus but not essential.
• Familiarity with security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, and GDPR.
• Knowledge and understanding of Microsoft technology.

Red Hot Rewards

• Generous holidays - 38.5 days annual leave (including bank holidays and prorated if part-time)​ plus the option to buy more.
