We are very excited to be building a small and efficient Cyber and Information Security team at Octopus Energy Group. We are looking for ambitious, knowledgeable, and experienced InfoSec Analysts to join our team, to grow with the rest of the company, and ensure we continue to do so in a secure and safe way.
You will be a key partner in defining what Security is at Octopus Energy Group. We will be shaping this team to provide a world class support service to our employees, building our way out of problems and undertaking transformational organisational change.
You’ll be primarily supporting our Octopus Energy Group services, while working with various Group Subsidiaries to expand our capabilities and develop creative solutions to business challenges and opportunities to continually improve our services.
Specifically, we're looking for Information Security Analysts with at least 2 years of relevant experience to help us improve security across the Octopus Energy Group.
If you’re passionate about Information Security and driving a positive security culture, we encourage you to apply!
What you'll do:
Maintaining and improving our Information Security Management System (ISMS) by taking a tech-first approach and using automation where possible
Contributing to the development of our security assurance function
Performing security risk assessments and maturity assessments for OE Group

Supporting Octopus Energy Group’s audit & compliance automation programs, enabling easy demonstration of compliance as we scale
Working with the wider Security team to set the security strategy for Octopus Energy Group and its subsidiaries
Keeping up to date with the latest security trends, and evaluating their potential impact on our systems, assisting the business to understand and manage associated risks
This is a varied role in a growing team. You’ll have the opportunity to get involved in other security-related projects and initiatives as needed. We encourage you to take on new challenges that align with your skills and interests, and to collaborate with other teams to drive improvements in security across our entire organisation
What you'll have:
A passion for security, a drive to make things better by harnessing technology
Experience in, or knowledge of, automating GRC and other security processes to reduce manual work (this could be related to policy as code, low/no code tools or GRC specific tooling)
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and mitigate security risks
A good understanding of information security principles and the ability to communicate this to people who aren’t subject matter experts
Experience producing or supporting the delivery of security awareness programs in different business environments
Knowledge of industry and regulatory security standards, such as ISO 27001, SOC2, and GDPR
A good candidate will have experience in at least some of the areas mentioned, we’re not expecting any candidate to be an expert in all areas!
What will help:
The ability to challenge and expand our thinking around GRC engineering
Security certifications (any of the famous abbreviations)
Security qualifications (e.g. apprenticeships or degrees)
Experience working in organisations that maintain ISO 27001 and/or SOC 1 and SOC 2 type II certifications
A wider understanding of technology, especially AWS (or other CSPs)
A background in a technical role or technical knowledge through education or training
