About the role

We are looking for a Security Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Officer to join our expanding security team. In this role, you will work alongside our security architects and engineers, providing governance, risk and compliance support across the organisation. Helping to ensure security is joined up, proportionate and embedded in how we deliver work.

We are open to candidates from a range of backgrounds, you don’t need to arrive with deep prior knowledge of every defence-specific framework. If you’ve built skills in risk, audit, compliance, quality or governance, those are highly transferable here and we’ll support you to build the specialist knowledge through structured training on the job.

This is a role with clear room to grow into broader security assurance and governance responsibility as our security function scales alongside the business.

This role requires a minimum of 3 days per week on-site at our Bristol HQ.

Candidates must be eligible for SC clearance.
