IT Security Officer, Technology Transformation Programme
Part-Time (2 days per week) | 12-Month FTC | Hybrid, London | Regulated Financial Services
Urgent need of a Part time IT Security Officer to act as the security focal point across the a project build.
The 2-day-a-week structure suits a fractional or portfolio security professional who can oversee the delivery of a project build. This role involves you joining a security team where you are embedded into a delivery project.
What you will own
You will be the single security point of contact across the programme, owning oversight and assurance through every stage of delivery, from design through build, test and go-live. You will review and challenge solution designs early, so that secure integration patterns, access controls and data protection are built in from the outset rather than bolted on later.
Role will involve you assessing and defining controls across system design, integrations, data flows and third‑party platforms, run the security governance and assurance activity, provide security sign‑off at key milestones, and own go‑live readiness and early‑life monitoring.
What we need (essential)
* Hands‑on information security experience gained on technology delivery programmes or major system implementations within a regulated financial services or similarly regulated environment
* API and integration security across multi‑system, platform‑based ecosystems: OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, TLS
* Strong Microsoft and Azure security tooling: Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Priva, Microsoft Intune, Azure Monitor
* Proven risk assessment, security controls design and third‑party / vendor security assurance
* A good working understanding of DORA and GDPR as applied within a regulated environment
* Comfortable operating across architecture, engineering, data and compliance, providing security leadership and constructive challenge without formal line management
* Exposure to multi‑system, platform‑based Azure environments
* Familiarity with payment and financial data flows
* Experience supporting regulated delivery in a controlled, audit‑ready environment
* Vulnerability management and penetration testing awareness
The shape of the role
* Contract: 12‑month fixed‑term contract, with potential to convert to permanent on success
* Commitment: 2 days per week
* Location: London, hybrid
Please note:
This is a salaried, employed fixed‑term contract, not a day‑rate or outside‑IR35 consultancy assignment. It is best suited to a fractional or portfolio security professional looking for a steady anchor engagement to run alongside their other work, rather than a contractor seeking a daily rate.
Why this one is worth a look
You will not be maintaining someone else's framework. The platform is being built now, so you help define how it is secured. The part‑time structure makes it a clean anchor engagement to sit alongside other work, and the team moves fast, values people who flag problems early, and wants delivery, not bureaucracy.
