REVISED - Information Security Manager – ISO27001 - Facilities Management – Countrywide

Salary: Maximum £60k plus up to 15% bonus and benefits

Location: Country-wide, mobile role. The client’s head office is in Banbury Oxfordshire, but you can be home-based, from any location. South of Birmingham is preferable, as that is the location of the majority of their contracts.


THE COMPANY AND SITUATION:

A leading international provider of critical support services for public authorities and corporate organisations requires an individual with BOTH experience in Information Security Management AND the interpersonal skills to win over potentially reluctant stakeholders, therefore able to build an information security culture throughout an organisation.

Please note this is NOT a technical I.T. security role: We are NOT seeking those whose background is in I.T. security: This is a wider role around information security, requiring an experienced Information Security Manager with the ability to evaluate the situation from the business and information risk perspective, as opposed to from the IT side.


EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:

The essential experience required for this role is as follows:

• Degree or equivalent
• A minimum of 5 years commercial experience in Information Security
• A detailed understanding of ISO27001
• Knowledge of EITHER NHS IGSoC OR IL security standards: By IL, we mean government Business Impact Level security standards (experience in at least one of these is essential – please do not apply if you are lacking both).
• Experience in the development, implementation and ongoing management of information security policies and procedures in a multi contract / multi-site environment
• Experience in the delivery of ISO27001 registration in a multi contract / multi-site environment
• Development of information security strategies
• Delivering business continuity plans in a multi contract / multi-site environment
• Writing Information Security content and costings for bids
• Ability to articulate the difference between I.T. security versus Information Security
• Ability to engage with the business to engender an information security culture throughout the organisation

Please note the above attributes are essential – you require all of the above to be eligible for this role.


Desirable, but not essential, are any of the following:

• Delivery of impact level accreditation up to IL3 and preferably IL4
• Experience in the delivery of N3 connectivity
• Experience in Government ICT strategy and information security, including NHS / Connecting for Health
• Experience of working with CLAS consultants.
• Writing business continuity content and costings for bids
• Previous experience in the healthcare sector
• Previous experience in Facilities Management


THE ROLE:

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a technical I.T. security role: We are NOT seeking those whose background is in I.T. security: This is an Information Security Management role, the primary focus of which is to drive a culture of information security throughout the organisation.

In this role, there is no such thing as a “typical working week”! Initially the main focus is around Information Security, a latter priority will be business continuity planning. The initial priority is to focus on specific contracts where there is a requirement to drive in ISO27001 or other forms of Information Security. There are additional needs around Information Security and how it affects bids.

In order to make a success of this role, absolutely fundamental here is in addition to the knowledge of Information Security, the ability to influence and engage apparently reluctant or resistant stakeholders.

Both of these attributes are required in order to make a success of this role: One or the other won’t work.


THE OPPORTUNITY:

Given the size of this organisation in the UK, plus the size and scale of their government contracts, the demand for Information Security has a very high profile within the company.
Information Security is a huge issue for the company, it is central to their core activities and due to the fact this is a single role in one company within the group with a lot of opportunity to significantly influence the business, broader opportunities would exist in the wider region and group.
This is a successful, rapidly-growing business in which the successful candidate can make a significant contribution to that growth through developing and managing Information Security in the business.

Location: Country-wide, mobile role. The client’s head office is in Banbury, Oxfordshire, but you can be home-based, from any location. South of Birmingham is preferable, as that is the location of the majority of their contracts.
