Description:
This is an exciting opportunity for an Security GRC Consultant to help shape aspects of the Information Security Policy and Control activity specifically supporting changes to the security control environment; both monitoring Key Performance Indicators and leading on transformation and continuous improvement affecting Information Security.
We are therefore looking for a passionate Information Security Consultant with knowledge, skills, and experience of all aspects of Information Security management and the governance of data and information. We have ambitious plans to enable continuous control monitoring and automate our control reporting; this role is pivotal to our success in achieving these outcomes.
This role is within the Security and Resilience Function, which is a diverse team of people with a wide range of experience, specialisms, and remits. What unites us is our vision for operational excellence, protecting our customers’ services, money and data, and our focus to make sure (alongside our other colleagues) services, money and data are always available and secure. At Nationwide, we openly put our 16 million members at the centre of every decision we make as a business. Every role, no matter what it’s doing, is member focused.
At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.
For this job you’ll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you’ll spend 40% of your working time, based at either our London, Swindon, Bournemouth, Northampton or Dunfermline office. Whilst these locations are where we are primarily looking to fill the role, if you’re an internal applicant based in a different location we would welcome your application and if successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this could work for this specific role. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here.
If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.
