Security Assurance Specialist
London | Financial Services | £125,000 - £200,000 Base Salary + £40,000 - £80,000 Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Entasis Partners are exclusively supporting a leading global Financial Services organisation in the search for a Security Assurance Specialist to join a highly visible and influential cyber security function.
This is not a traditional audit, compliance or assurance role. The Security Assurance team operates as an independent challenge function, providing Executive Leadership and Board-level stakeholders with objective insight into whether security controls, investments and capabilities are delivering the outcomes expected by the business.
Working across a complex and rapidly evolving technology landscape, the team combines deep technical expertise, data-driven analysis and emerging AI capabilities to assess security effectiveness, identify opportunities for improvement and drive meaningful change across the organisation.
The Role
As a Security Assurance Specialist, you will work across the entire business, engaging with engineering teams, cyber security functions, technology leaders and senior executives.
