At Babcock we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together, and if you join us, you can play your part as an Information Security Assurance Manager.
The role
As an Information Security Assurance Manager, you’ll have a role that’s out of the ordinary. You'll provide expert security assurance across operational systems, suppliers and data environments, ensuring ongoing compliance with contractual, regulatory and customer security requirements. This role offers the chance to work at the forefront of information security within the defence and engineering sector, helping safeguard systems that support national security while developing your expertise within a leading global organisation.
Day-to-day, you'll be required to:
- Providing information assurance support for live services, operational systems, suppliers and data flows throughout the service lifecycle.
- Leading the development, maintenance and continuous improvement of information security management plans.
- Advising Information Owners, service delivery teams and business stakeholders on security controls, compliance obligations and risk management.
- Collaborating with IT operations, commercial teams and delivery partners to embed effective security practices across business operations.
- Ensuring alignment with contractual, legislative and customer security requirements, including recognised government and industry standards.
This role is full time, 37.5 hours per week. This role is fully remote; however, regular travel is required to internal and/or customer sites, including Andover and Bristol.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
