The role

The Senior Security Risk Analyst role will help the organisation clearly understand and manage its cyber security and third‑party risks in a practical, people‑focused way. You’ll lead the introduction and rollout of a new third‑party risk management framework, working closely with vendors and procurement teams to carry out due diligence and make sure security, compliance and business requirements are met from the start. Alongside this, you’ll actively support the business through procurement activities tied to cyber security, helping teams make informed decisions in a large, complex environment.

You’ll keep executives informed through clear, meaningful risk reporting, build visibility of third‑party risks across the department, and contribute to day‑to‑day cyber security activities as part of business as usual. Working in a supportive team of up to seven, the role also plays a key part in driving governance, risk and compliance uplift across DPHI, while providing guidance and support to external departments.
