Why this job matters
The Security Story Team brings together, enhances and energises the many activities which impact our future security strategy, nurturing a common transformational vision across the company.

The role-holder will have a strong background in automation and also be able to create compelling stories for change, recognising that very often the technology is not the primary blocker. They are passionate about reducing complexity, and never automate what they can eliminate.
