Information Security Lead Auditor

Department: Audit

Employment Type: Permanent

Location: Reading, UK

Reporting To: Regional Operations Manager

Description Please note, that a full driving licence is required as this is a field-based role. Join our growing Lead Auditor teams across the UK!

At ISOQAR, we draw on our experience, knowledge, and ambition to empower organisations to achieve their highest potential. Through our robust portfolio of progressive solutions, comprehensive range of certifications and industry-leading insights , we lead by example to amplify excellence within the organisations that we support.

ISOQAR is part of the Alcumus Group . A global leader in the provision of support and solutions, the Alcumus Group helps organisations increase resilience and manage risk, protecting its customers, workforce, stakeholders, and the environment.

Due to our continued growth, we are seeking professionals within information security to join our expanding Lead Auditor teams who support a breadth of clients across the UK. With onsite practical experience and deep knowledge of industry processes, policies, and regulations, you'll help clients reach their full potential. While internal audit experience is helpful, it's not mandatory as we offer comprehensive training via our academy. Following your Global and Divisional inductions, you will embark on a 12-week training programme, including classroom and onsite learning with a Senior Lead Auditor to achieve your Lead Auditor qualifications within Quality Management Systems (9001) and Information Security Management Systems (27001).
What that means day to day The life of a Lead Auditor is both fun and varied, and no two days are the same.

The responsibilities include:

• Getting to know our clients and their products
• Hosting opening meetings - let's help our clients understand their audit process as much as we can
• Leading on the audit - this is where your subject matter expertise comes into play
• Report writing - now the audit is complete, it is time to finalise it and turn your hard work into a report for the client to receive
• Ongoing learning and development - if you join us with knowledge of just one standard, we will train and upskill you to be able to audit against others

What you'll need to be successful You will have practical workplace experience in information technology and information security. Ideal candidates may have worked in roles such as IT Systems Architect, Cloud Systems Engineer, Network Engineer, Cyber Intelligence Specialist, Digital Forensics Analyst or similar positions. However, we are open to considering candidates with relevant experience beyond these specific roles. Your expertise in the field is essential for this role.

As this role will involve regional and national travel, you should be comfortable with overnight stays and have a full driving licence. You should be a confident communicator both verbally and in writing and possess positive influencing skills. Since we pride ourselves on our integrity and technical expertise, thorough and concise report-writing experience is essential.
What you'll get in return Alcumus has a hybrid workplace policy, where you will work from the office 3 days per week. We aim to support our team to perform at their best, offering various perks and benefits including:

Personal Health & Wellbeing / Benefits
Enhanced Parental Leave
