Job Overview
About The Role
We’re on the lookout for someone who’s passionate about keeping things secure and running smoothly behind the scenes. As our Cyber Security Assurance Lead, you’ll be a key player in our cyber security strategy—making sure our systems, people, and partners are all doing the right things to keep AO safe.
You’ll take the lead on our day-to-day cyber assurance work, helping us stay ahead of risks and making sure we’re ticking all the right boxes when it comes to standards like ISO27001 and PCI DSS. You’ll also be the go-to person for making sure our cyber security tools, policies, and training are top-notch.
Here’s What You Can Expect To Be Doing
In this role, you’ll be right at the heart of our cyber security efforts—keeping a close eye on our tech, our teams, and our suppliers to make sure everything’s secure and running smoothly. You’ll take ownership of our compliance with key standards like ISO27001 and PCI DSS, and make sure we’re always hitting our cyber security goals. Planning and running incident simulations will be part of your toolkit, helping us stay sharp and ready for anything.
You’ll also be responsible for reporting on all things cyber security, delivering clear and honest insights that help us make smart decisions. Training and awareness will be a big part of your day-to-day—keeping our people informed and engaged. You’ll manage risks and incidents, run assessments, and build action plans that keep us one step ahead. Whether you’re leading a workshop, updating our policies, or working with the latest assurance tools, you’ll be making a real impact every day.
A Few Things About You
When it comes to appliances and electricals, we’ve got the lot. Washing machines? Yep. TVs? Check. Laptops? Absolutely. Everything except doorbells (just kidding, we’ve got those too).
We’re known for helping our customers brilliantly – and it’s no different for AOers. We care about more than what’s on your CV, because together we can do extraordinary things.
Our Benefits
Our benefits are designed to cover the moments that matter to AOers. From health and wellness to giving back – you’ll be rewarded inside and outside of work.
