About The Role
We’re on the lookout for someone who’s passionate about keeping things secure and running smoothly behind the scenes. As our Cyber Security Assurance Lead, you’ll be a key player in our cyber security strategy—making sure our systems, people, and partners are all doing the right things to keep AO safe.
You’ll take the lead on our day-to-day cyber assurance work, helping us stay ahead of risks and making sure we’re ticking all the right boxes when it comes to standards like ISO27001 and PCI DSS. You’ll also be the go-to person for making sure our cyber security tools, policies, and training are top-notch.

Planning and running incident simulations will be part of your toolkit, helping us stay sharp and ready for anything.
You’ll also be responsible for reporting on all things cyber security, delivering clear and honest insights that help us make smart decisions. Training and awareness will be a big part of your day-to-day—keeping our people informed and engaged. You’ll manage risks and incidents, run assessments, and build action plans that keep us one step ahead. Whether you’re leading a workshop, updating our policies, or working with the latest assurance tools, you’ll be making a real impact every day.
