A well-established energy provider in Glasgow is looking for a Cyber Security Programme Manager to join their growing team. The company are one of the leaders in the industry striving to completely Green Energy and you'll have the opportunity to work in a team that has a pivotal role in that.
The company are in the process of rolling out a new Cyber Security initiative and this a newly created role across the company. You will be managing a number of large-scale projects across circa 12 teams and departments and will be helping to implement and improve upon the existing Cyber landscape. This is a management level role, and although you will not be immediately managing people, there is the potential for this down the line. You will however be managing people within other departments as well as a number of third-party IT Contractors who are helping to implement the change.
This role is for a Programme Manager with a technical background, obviously ideally in Cyber security. You will need to consult with the different departments and third parties on technical elements, and be able to speak/understand at a technical level. The scope of work is quite vast, with teams having different levels of maturity in their Cyber Security journey (including some teams on legacy systems, some more modern etc). Immediately, the projects will include things such as vulnerability analysis, security scanning, as well as how to launch a programme of work to fix IT security vulnerabilities. The business does have a long-standing cyber security function, however they are spinning up having a cyber security function amongst each organisation - more autonomy etc. It wouldn't be a "standing start" role, but more looking at it through a new lens.
Role responsibilities and skills:
** Strong background in delivery of large-scale Cyber Security Programmes
** Technical background in areas such as: networking, security, operations, cloud, UNIX, DBAs
** Ability to manage concurrent multi-million pound projects and stick to planned budgets
** Perform benchmarking of security posture and keep up to date with new technology and carry out proof of concepts to deliver security enhancements
** Develop and define security standards and best practice
** Security Risk Management including the development, recommendation, and delivery of remediation plans
** Security best practice and understanding of vulnerability and risk management in an environment of mature security posture
** Assessing technical designs across multiple IT/Digital disciplines and defining appropriate controls
** Qualifications such as CISSP, CISM or ISO27001 would be advantageous
The company would be looking to have this person in the city centre Glasgow office roughly three times a week, but this certainly isn't an absolute necessity every week. They can pay a salary up to around £77,000, plus excellent benefits including a 20% performance related bonus, car allowance, 10% pension contribution as well as private healthcare - really strong.
