Security Assurance Officer

IT Services at the University of Sheffield provide a full range of complex IT and technology-enabled services that support education, research, workplace, corporate services and infrastructure enablers to all our staff and students.

The Information Security team in IT Services is seeking a Security Assurance Officer in the Security Operations team to contribute to its ongoing mission to keep the University safe and secure.

This is an exciting opportunity for you to work with the Security Assurance Manager to provide assurance to the University and its partners that we can protect information. You will support our staff and students to make sure they can work safely whilst getting the best out of the information under their control. This will include leading information security projects, the development and dissemination of policies as well as responding to requests for advice and guidance.

Experience with recognised information security standards and frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, PCI-DSS and Cyber Essentials will be particularly advantageous. You will be required to liaise with external stakeholders to satisfy their information security requirements.

You will be exposed to key, strategic initiatives, including the development and implementation of the University's Information Security Management System (ISMS) and providing research compliance support across a range of activities.

We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.
