Job Summary
At Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), we supply and maintain vital equipment and services for the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force. Together, we deliver a vast range of essential defence programmes, and strive for what's next. Because it helps keep our military at the top of their game and our nation safe – for today, and tomorrow.
DE&S has recently been integrated into the National Armaments Director (NAD) Group. The NAD Group brings together key Ministry of Defence (MOD) organisations to unite expertise across science, technology, procurement, infrastructure, and support to provide integrated capabilities faster and more efficiently for our armed forces and our allies. This is an exciting new opportunity to enable better ways of working and empower greater collaboration across Defence.

We offer 25+ days’ holiday, flexible and hybrid working, enhanced parental leave schemes, shopping discounts, and an exceptional employer pension contribution of 28.97%, to help make work for you.
This role requires you to have lived in the UK for the last 5 years and obtain Security Check (SC) security clearance. Clearance must be obtained without any caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role you’ve been recruited for. If it isn’t obtained or is obtained but with caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role, any conditional offer made to you will be withdrawn. Obtaining SC security clearance can be a lengthy process, and we reserve the right to withdraw any conditional offer made if the necessary security clearance isn’t obtained within 12 months.
Job Description
We are looking for a candidate with a strong expertise of Information Assurance and Security Governance, including key information security principles, governance processes, and secure development practices. A thorough understanding of regulatory and legislative requirements is essential, with the ability to interpret and apply legal, policy, and contractual obligations affecting Information Systems.
You will have proven experience in compliance monitoring, controls testing, and managing audit findings, alongside a solid knowledge of IT service management, operational controls, and lifecycle assurance. This ensures effective service governance and lifecycle management throughout the organisation.
Strong stakeholder and supplier management skills are also required, with the ability to influence internal teams and third parties to meet governance, licensing, and security obligations, ensuring robust and compliant information systems.
It would be beneficial if you have the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) foundation certificate or knowledge of ITIL, but this isn’t essential and can be taught whilst in post.
Please note that due to the nature of the role, you will be required full time on site at Warminster.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Support monitoring of services and product lifecycles.
- Use tools and apply knowledge of techniques and processes to track, log and correct information to ensure data integrity and suggest process improvements.
- Support the risks and issues management process by escalating where appropriate.
- Support the relationship with key Digital Live Services Suppliers, Stakeholders, Customers and Service users.
- Ensure compliance against IT regulatory requirements.
