Purpose of the Role
The postholder will be responsible for technical project management within DARE UK’s newly established security programme.
The postholder will need strong project management skills and a solid technical grounding in software security. Their responsibilities will include managing projects, understanding and articulating detailed security requirements, supporting procurement processes, tracking progress and managing project risk.
The role is predominantly focussed on the security of trusted research environments (TREs). Prior knowledge of TREs is helpful, but not essential. More important is an understanding of the implications for running highly secure on-prem services, cloud infrastructure and for securely deploying open-source software.
This is a unique and exciting short-term opportunity to drive projects that enhance the security of the UK’s critical research infrastructure.
