An opportunity to play your part
We’re looking for an Information Security Third Party Assurance Analyst to help keep Centrica, our customers and our colleagues safe by making sure the suppliers we work with meet the right security, privacy and compliance standards. This is a brilliant opportunity to get close to the action across Procurement, Legal, Information Security, Technology GRC and our supplier partners, reviewing assurance activity, spotting potential risks and helping turn complex information into clear, practical decisions. You’ll support supplier onboarding, due diligence, reassessments and ongoing assurance throughout the supplier lifecycle, while tracking remediation plans and making sure risks are managed in the right way. If you enjoy connecting the dots, building strong relationships and bringing a bit of calm, clarity and curiosity to the world of third-party security, this role is a great chance to make a real impact at Centrica.
Location: UK-based hybrid role, Occasional travel to site.
