- Anticipate and engage future programmes to ensure that they are Secure by Design.
- Work across programme boundaries to oversee in-service security capability management, responding proactively to mitigate deficiencies and continually improve security outcomes.
- Work across programme boundaries to oversee security risk management, in order to treat, tolerate or transfer risk in line with organisational risk management strategies.

- Lead and manage the growth of a small team, and act as Lead User for a bespoke programme team.

- Understanding of capability management and risk management processes.
- Applicants will need to complete DV clearance and achieve STRAP induction before commencing the role. Applicants must be willing to undergo DV clearance and STRAP induction and be full UK Nationals.
