Looking to start or build your career in information security and data protection?

We're looking for an Information security and data protection analyst to join our Governance, Risk and Compliance team. You'll report into our Head of Information security and data protection officer, who'll support your development and help you build your knowledge as you grow into the role.

You'll be part of our 2nd Line of Defence team, helping Seccl protect its people, customers and operations. You don't need to come with lots of technical experience. What matters most is that you're curious, proactive, a strong communicator and keen to learn.

Over time, you'll develop valuable knowledge across cybersecurity, privacy and operational resilience, with the opportunity to become a subject matter expert in how we manage information security and data protection at Seccl.

• Be a first point of contact for information security and data protection queries from across the business
• Support with GDPR-related activity, including data subject access requests and data subject rights
• Help with data protection impact assessments and legitimate interest assessments
• Support the maintenance of our Information Security Management System
• Help facilitate information security risk assessments
• Advise teams on the appropriate use of personal data
• Support information security and data protection governance
• Keep an eye on regulatory developments, including GDPR and DORA
• Help promote information security and data protection awareness across Seccl

• You're a strong communicator who enjoys building relationships and working with people from different backgrounds
• You're comfortable being a first point of contact and helping people find the right answer
• You have a genuine interest in information security, data protection, resilience or technology
• You're proactive and happy to take initiative, rather than waiting to be told what to do
• You're curious, motivated and keen to learn
• You enjoy solving problems, asking good questions and working with others
• You're open to learning technical concepts and applying them in a real business setting. We'll support you with the training you need

• You rely on a lot of top down direction. Here, you'll have a lot of freedom and ownership of your role, and you'll be expected to shape your own progression
• You're not comfortable working in a fast paced environment. Our speed and scalability are what set us apart; you need to be able to act quickly and think on your feet
• You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who do what they say they will. If you care about something, you have the freedom here to make it happen
• You don't like change. You'll get on great here if you relish the ambiguity of rapid growth and are willing to embrace uncertainty
