Are you passionate about cyber security and skilled at engaging diverse audiences?


This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a growing security awareness programme within a global organisation, where you’ll play a key role in shaping how cyber security is understood across the business.


Working as part of a high-performing IT Security team, you’ll lead the design and delivery of innovative training initiatives, driving engagement and embedding a strong security culture across multiple regions and functions.


You’ll take the lead on developing and enhancing a comprehensive cyber security awareness programme—delivering impactful training, running engaging campaigns, and introducing new initiatives to keep security front of mind across the organisation.


Responsibilities

  • Design and deliver an annual Cyber Security Awareness Month (webinars, content, campaigns)
  • Coordinate and run cyber security simulation exercises and drills
  • Partner with business continuity teams to ensure continuous improvement from lessons learned
  • Build and manage an internal Cyber Champions Network
  • Engage and communicate with stakeholders across multiple regions and functions
  • Evaluate training effectiveness and continuously enhance delivery and engagement

About You

  • Proven experience delivering IT training to varied audiences
  • Strong communication skills—both written and verbal—with the ability to simplify technical concepts
  • Confident presenter, able to engage large and diverse groups
  • Experience running phishing simulations and awareness campaigns
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail
  • Able to work independently while collaborating across wider teams
  • Previous exposure to cyber security environments
  • Experience with immersive simulation platforms is advantageous

This is a unique opportunity to step into a visible, business-facing role where you’ll directly influence cyber security culture on a global scale. You’ll have the autonomy to introduce new ideas, shape strategy, and make a tangible impact - get in touch for more information!
