Chief Information Security
Officer Opportunity at
Department for Business and Trade

This is an exciting time to join the Department for Business and Trade.

We have a clear mission – to grow the economy. Our role is to help businesses invest, grow and export to create jobs and opportunities right across the country.

We do this in three ways:

• Firstly, we help to build a strong, competitive business environment, where consumers are protected and companies rewarded for treating their employees properly.
• Secondly, we open up international markets and ensure resilient supply chains. This can be through Free Trade Agreements, trade facilitation and multilateral agreements.
• Thirdly, we work in partnership with businesses every day, providing advance, finance and deal making support to those looking to start up, invest, export and grow.

The Department for Business and Trade's Digital, Data & Technology directorate are 550 colleagues committed to delivering a wide array of high-quality services, tools and capabilities to support the department's objectives.

As we mature after a period of rapid growth, this is an exciting opportunity to shape the evolution of our Cyber-Security team as the first Chief Information Security Officer in the department. You will play a key role in protecting critical national infrastructure that is essential to ensuring goods cross our borders and businesses flourish.

You will join a kind and supportive culture that works in a matrix model aligned to the Government Digital Service's capability framework. The Cyber team are key to our work whether it is building, buying or delivering digital, data and technology services.

We look forward to hearing from you.
