As a Barclays Security Consultant, you will have an opportunity to deliver security solutions consulting services, to ensure appropriate information security assurance is undertaken during the development lifestyle.  It is a client-focused technical role to support the secure design and implementation of change across a variety of business areas, technologies, and platforms. You will work with stakeholders and customers to deliver secure solutions that mitigate risk and reduce cost.

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.

At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.

•    Undertaking/facilitating information security assessments for solutions during various development phases to ensure security weaknesses are identified and correctly managed
•    Ensuring the end-to-end information security integrity and quality of solutions and product releases
•    Working with stakeholders to ensure residual risks are adequately mitigated to the degree that meets the risk appetite of the business
•    Working with technical and security specialists and the appropriate Business in developing and delivering System security solutions, and achieve high levels of satisfaction as a result
•    Assiting the wider delivery and success of Security Solutions’ Services


What we’re looking for:

•    Demonstrable knowledge of security solutions and designs from a people, process and technology perspective; including security technologies, controls, assessment methodologies
•    Excellent relationship, communication and stakeholder management skills
•    Knowledge of information security frameworks and standards such as ISO27001/2, NIST, PCI DSS and their application into diverse environments
•    Competent to discuss the underlying technology and security controls with product developers

Skills that will help you in the role:

•    Awareness and knowledge of the Barclay’s business unit accountabilities and structure
•    Knowledgeable about existing best practices for integration of security controls
•    Understanding of core development methodologies and their associated technologies
•    Security qualification
