NS&I is one of the largest savings organisations in the UK with more than 24 million customers and over £240 billion invested. We are both a government department and an Executive Agency of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Our origins can be traced back more than 150 years to 1861.

A small company with a big reach, we offer a range of benefits including flexible working, a 9-day fortnight scheme, a performance-related variable pay bonus, a generous pension scheme and great opportunities for development. We care for colleagues, respect one another, invest in our people and manage talent effectively.

We are currently working in a hybrid way with colleagues expected to work at their chosen office location for 40% of their working month.

The Cyber Security Manager position is a critical role within the NS&I Risk Directorate. The role supports the Senior Cyber Security Manager in providing assurance that our service providers are operating effective cyber security control environments. Cyber security is a scientific field, encompassing scientific principles and methodologies from multiple disciplines, including computer science, mathematics, engineering, and behavioural sciences.

The complexity of cyber security arises from the diverse and evolving nature of threats, technologies, regulations, and human factors involved. Addressing these complexities requires a holistic approach that combines technical expertise, strategic planning, organisational commitment, and continuous adaptation to emerging threats. The Cyber Security Manager is responsible for being the primary contact for NS&I's service providers and providing NS&I with assurance that the service providers are managing the complexities and ensuring cyber security risks are mitigated to acceptable levels.

The Cyber Security Manager will be proficient in forging and sustaining trust-based relationships with Senior Management across NS&I and service providers/B2B clients that help to build a security focused culture between NS&I and providers and B2B customers.
