Build your career at Iress!
The Information Security Principal is a hands-on role that requires good working knowledge of secure engineering practices, and a proven and demonstrable ability to design and implement Cloud (AWS) security solutions. Importantly, the role requires an ability to problem solve and to collaborate with diverse technology teams as well as engage positively with non-technical communities within Iress, with limited supervision and oversight.
Reporting into the Head of Security Engineering & Enablement, (HSE), this role is responsible for performing all activities of the Security Engineering & Enablement team as they are defined in the Iress InfoSec Operating Model. This role will help the HSE deliver ongoing and increasing business value from the function for Iress and its clients.
Driving and evangelising our security strategy and architecture of platform capabilities whilst balancing a future-based strategic vision against short-to-medium term delivery goals and outcomes, this role requires strong communication skills to clearly articulate the benefits of the security strategy, ensuring platform consumers and owners are aware of and aligned to the vision, direction and value of the platform. In coaching and supporting the wider technical communities, this role will also help validate technical expectations of solutions, manage technology risk and communicate implications of technology decisions.
Some of the awesome things you’ll be involved with:
Work as part of a Group Technology function to define and deliver security services that effectively operate within a cloud environment and the hosted Iress environment
Lead and drive security automation to remove “hands-on” work, driving an effective efficiency outcome
Ensure that security services provide value to delivery teams, enabling speed and scale globally
Partner with Technology teams within the Iress business units to establish (and participate in) security governance framework for projects (including workflow, and automated tooling)
Ensure existing clients and solutions continue to operate securely
Identify, articulate and manage implications and risks of technology solutions and decisions
Work with key stakeholders to align Iress products/solutions and Iress security
Innovate, drive evolution aligned to risk reduction and key security trends
What you will bring:
Experience of Security Architecture principles and standards (eg CIS; CAF; COBIT; TOGAF or similar)
Detailed knowledge of modern software technology including cloud services (AWS), consumer trends in technology and engineering principles and practices
Good knowledge of contemporary and emerging enterprise security standards, approaches and industry trends
Must have a thorough understanding of the security threat landscape, significant risks, technical developments and directions
Strong interpersonal skills
