About You
- You will be engaging with change programs and project teams to embed security by design into business change, ensuring security is considered early and throughout the delivery lifecycle.
- Deliver security advisory services to the business, acting as a trusted consultant to stakeholders at all levels — from project teams to senior leadership.
- Lead threat modelling exercises across programs and key systems, translating findings into clear, business-relevant risk statements for non-technical audiences.
- Conduct security architecture reviews, assessing proposals and designs against NIST CSF, COBIT, and internal standards.
- Conduct risk assessments of AI systems and AI-enabled products, covering risks such as model integrity, bias, data poisoning, and explainability.
- Work collaboratively with other security teams to ensure appropriate security gates are completed across programs – including penetration testing and supplier assurance reviews where applicable.
- Represent the team in governance forums, program boards, and working groups, communicating security risk with clarity and authority.
- Manage multiple concurrent workstreams, delivering quality outputs against competing priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Mentor junior consultants through day-to-day guidance, quality review, and knowledge sharing.

- Significant experience in an information security advisory or consultancy role.
- Proven threat modelling capability — able to lead sessions and communicate outputs to senior, non-technical stakeholders.
- Demonstrable experience assessing security and risk in AI systems or AI-enabled products.
