The role

About us

Information Services Division (ISD) is the primary provider of IT services to UCL. We support and enhance learning, teaching, research and administrative processes by providing information- and technology-related services to over 50,000 staff and students of UCL and associated institutions. Our ambition is to be the leading IT services group in the HE sector and we are growing our team's capability in experience/UX, agile development, security, cloud, service management and partnering.

We are modernising our technology foundations, digitising the processes of the university to transform experience for students and staff, and partnering across the university to drive differentiation in UCL education and research. Within ISD, the Information Security Group works across the university to protect UCL and the amazing work it does in education and research. ISG sets security standards, provides advice and guidance, and responds to incidents working with a "how to" rather than "Don't do" mindset.

About the role

Within ISD, this post is in the Chief Information Security Office (CISO) which leads on all aspects of security at UCL. CISO is divided into two teams covering Security Operations and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC).This role sits within the GRC team and will lead UCL's approach to information security awareness, culture and training, setting direction for initiatives that strengthen security behaviours and help embed security into everyday working practices across UCL.

You will lead the development and delivery of awareness campaigns, training and engagement activities, working closely with stakeholders across UCL to understand areas of risk and develop targeted interventions.You will also provide senior leadership within CISO, using insight and measures of effectiveness to continually improve UCL's security culture and contribute to the wider information security strategy.
