This role is ideal for an individual who enjoys a broad range of security responsibilities spanning security operations, incident response, governance, risk management, compliance, supplier assurance, and security project delivery.
As a member of a small but highly effective global Information Security team, you will play a key role in protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the firm's information assets and client data. The successful candidate will work closely with IT infrastructure, service delivery, legal technology, risk and compliance teams, and external security providers to continuously enhance the firm's security posture.

We work extensively across the network and seek candidates who are keen to engage internationally and make wider contributions both internally and externally than just IT service and delivery.
