What you’ll do
The Security Assurance Coordinator is responsible for coordinating and overseeing the end‑to‑end security testing and assurance lifecycle across systems, applications, and services operating in high‑assurance environments. The role works with delivery teams, service owners, and approved third‑party suppliers to plan, track, and report assurance activities, ensuring risks are visible, remediation is progressed, and evidence is maintained to meet policy, regulatory, and customer requirements.
* Coordinate the planning, scheduling, and delivery of security assurance activities, including penetration testing and vulnerability assessments, ensuring alignment to delivery plans, customer requirements, and applicable security policies
* Act as a central point of contact between project teams, service owners, and approved third‑party testing providers to define scope, prerequisites, timelines, and dependencies
* Review and quality‑check security testing outputs, supporting the translation of technical findings into clear, business‑focused risk information for a range of stakeholders
* Track identified vulnerabilities through agreed remediation processes, monitoring progress to closure, supporting retesting where required, and maintaining accurate assurance and remediation records
* Maintain assurance evidence and artefacts to support audit, accreditation, and compliance activities, contributing to reporting against relevant standards, policies, and regulatory requirements
* Support the continuous improvement of security testing coordination, reporting, and tracking processes to enhance consistency, transparency, and delivery efficiency
Who you are
* Working knowledge of penetration testing approaches, vulnerability management processes, and common application and infrastructure risks (e.g. OWASP Top 10), sufficient to coordinate assurance activity and interpret findings
* Experience in a coordination, assurance, or delivery‑support role within IT or Cyber Security, managing multiple workstreams, dependencies, and stakeholders in parallel
* Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with technical teams, suppliers, and senior non‑technical stakeholders, translating technical outputs into clear risk‑based insights
* Knowledge of recognised security standards and frameworks (e.g. ISO 27001, NIST, NCSC CAF, JSP440) and experience supporting compliance, audit, or assurance activities
* Ability to attain and maintain UK Security Vetting (DV) and operate effectively in regulated or high‑assurance environments requiring discretion, accuracy, and strong governance
