Overseeing the governance of site and personnel security requirements.

Export Control & Trade Compliance

Ensuring continued compliance with UK export control legislation and applicable international regulations, including US EAR and ITAR requirements.
Working with subject matter experts, corporate functions and external authorities to maintain effective compliance processes and controls.

Operational Development, IT & Cyber

Leading compliance with military and defence cyber security standards and regulations, including CMMC, NIST, ISO 27001 and Def Stan 05-138.
Promoting cyber security awareness and continuous improvement across the organisation.
Supporting the reliability and effectiveness of IT systems, facilities and operational infrastructure.

Quality Assurance

Maintaining and improving the Business Management System in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001:2015.
Ensuring compliance with relevant quality, cyber and information security standards.
Leading quality assurance activities, audits and improvement initiatives that support customer satisfaction and operational excellence.

To be successful in this role, we expect you to have:

Experience leading compliance, cyber security, quality assurance or related functions within a defence, aerospace, maritime or similarly regulated environment.
A degree qualification (BSc or BA) or equivalent professional experience within an engineering, defence, aerospace or maritime organisation.
Knowledge of export control regulations, governance frameworks, cyber security standards and quality management systems.
The ability to build trusted relationships and collaborate effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
Experience working within complex organisations and balancing multiple priorities.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make sound, evidence-based decisions.
Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
A high level of integrity and commitment to good governance.
A proactive approach with a continuous improvement mindset and enthusiasm for learning and development.

Please note that this position requires the successful candidate to obtain and maintain the appropriate Security Clearance (SC level). Any applicants must have (and be able to evidence) the right to work in the UK.
