• Support the prioritisation and resolution of vulnerabilities, balancing security risk, technical feasibility and business impact.
• Partner with engineering and business teams to assess security risks associated with AI solutions and services, and help define guardrails for their secure and responsible adoption.

MUST HAVE

• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in information security, cyber security or a related role.
• Demonstrated experience partnering with software, data, cloud or BI engineering teams in
  technically complex environments.
• Ability to discuss architectures, vulnerabilities and mitigation options at a detailed technical

• Strong understanding of modern software delivery, cloud-native architectures and
  DevSecOps principles.
• Collaborative working style, with the ability to influence technical decisions without relying
  solely on policies or formal authority.
• Fluency in English.
