An exciting job role exists in the Cyber and Security Team as the Cryptographic Security Manager. This post is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to develop and progress their careers. This role works within the inclusive and innovative Cyber and Security team, part of the Information Directorate within Army Headquarters, a diverse and highly capable workforce.
The Cryptographic Security Manager is responsible for all current and future Cryptographic security requirements for the Army, including supporting the routine and novel movement, transport and storage as required. The role will ensure that Army handling of cryptographic material is compliant with wider Government and Defence direction. You will advise the Army Principal Security Advisor, Chief Security Officer & Senior Information Risk Officer on current and future cryptographic security risks being managed/tolerated in the Army. Additionally, the individual will advise and support the wider cryptographic leadership and user community as required.
Secure behaviours play an integral role in protecting both the UK, and our Armed Forces, against external and internal threats. Through this role, you will have the opportunity to develop a broader understanding of the security risks facing the Army across the physical, cyber and personnel domains. You will also become a member of the Government Security Profession, and there are further opportunities for continued professional development.
We are looking for a talented and motivated individual who is a team player but is equally comfortable working on their own to assure physical, personnel, cyber and information security and ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of Army operated and managed systems and networks.
The successful candidate must be comfortable engaging with wider Defence, Government, and industry. Occasional travel within the UK will be required but this will rarely demand overnight stays.
The successful candidate will be required to:
Represent Directorate Information and Chief Security Officer on Defence Digital run cryptographic security requirements meetings
Lead on Army cryptographic security policy and shaping wider MOD Policy
Planning and managing the security implications of obsolescence and Last Year of Use (LYOU) of Cryptographic assets used by the Army
Engage and liaise across the Army on the assurance of Cryptographic holdings
Engage, liaise and support the management of Cryptographic security matters in support of Directorate Programmes & Directorate Futures on planned future requirements for Cryptographic solutions across the Army equipment programs
Lead on casual courier request approval on behalf of the Chief Security Officer
If you are a strong communicator able to engage with stakeholders across government, work efficiently and at pace, across multiple IT systems and security classifications, we need you!

The MOD offers support and development in your career, including training as part of your role. In the Army we are passionate about delivering great things for our people. But we also know you will have a life outside of work; we respect your priorities and are committed to flexible working practices to give you freedom to balance work and life.
