We’re looking for a customer-focused individual with extensive experience in information security and/or cyber security to join us as an Information Security Manager.

The UK has a housing problem. This affects every one of us, because housing is the foundation of the society we live in. Catalyst is part of the solution. You could be too.

One of the UK’s leading housing associations, Catalyst is here to make a purposeful difference by providing housing solutions for those who can’t afford a home without our help. We offer a wide range of homes, for rent, part ownership or purchase. By doing so, we build more than homes – we build communities.

We're at a particularly exciting point in our story, having recently merged with another large housing association, Aldwyck. The merger makes us stronger and more able to deliver our social purpose - in every part of our organisation. We’re always seeking to do better. If you are too, read on.

You will be a subject matter expert (SME) to provide security consultancy and requirements to new IT projects and business change/led initiatives, to ensure the requirements incorporated into the designs, and built into final solutions, and to support projects team in the vendor/solution selection process. You will devise and implement a roadmap for Information Security, in conjunction with Architecture, Operations and other relevant stakeholders. You will be responsible for the Information Security incident response process, working collaboratively with the security analyst to help Catalyst effectively contain, respond, and resolve any security incidents and breaches.

With experience of delivering security improvement projects and developing security policies, standards and procedures, you are enthusiastic and passionate about all things information security. You are committed to delivering excellent customer experience every time, by being easy, reliable and empathetic in the way you deal with customers and colleagues and have a  pragmatic approach to information security. You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to articulate information security concepts and principles in business friendly language. Knowledge of, and working experience in, Data Protection is desirable.
