Technical Specialist – PCI | British Airways
<h2>A career without limits</h2>As the nation’s flag carrier, we take great pride in connecting Britain with the world—and the world with Britain. Established over a century ago, we pioneered the first international scheduled air service between London and Paris.
A spirit of originality and ambition runs through our organisation, as does the energy shared by our customers, partners, and the teams who bring each flight to life—whether through concierge hospitality, technical excellence, or the reassurance of a firm landing.
A job at British Airways is yours to shape. Here, inspired thinking and ambition have no bounds.
The Role
As Technical Specialist within Digital Delivery, you will play a critical hands-on role ensuring our customer and commercial systems adhere to and maintain PCI compliance standards.
Your technical expertise will guide our delivery and product teams in designing, implementing, and evidencing secure payments-related systems—turning complex compliance requirements into actionable, scalable solutions.
What You’ll Do
- Provide technical assurance that payment-related technologies meet internal and industry PCI standards across digital delivery pipelines
- Work directly with card and payment technologies to assist delivery teams in designing, building, and maintaining compliant solutions
- Translate compliance standards into practical technical design and delivery practices
- Support teams in identifying and remediating PCI-related issues stemming from updates to standards
- Ensure clear, concise reporting of compliance progress to digital leadership, contributing to strategic UAT and future planning
- Empower product and delivery teams to achieve sustainable self-sufficiency in PCI compliance
- Drive continuous improvements in tooling, workflows, and operational ownership for payments compliance
- Clearly define ownership for roles and responsibility across digital delivery teams
- Offer day-to-day technical guidance on payments compliance governance
- Facilitate the transition of compliance practices into application and product teams
- Monitor emerging technologies relevant to PCI, recommending value-add solutions aligned with cyber governance and architecture
