Enhance KRI reporting by defining and delivering accurate data‑driven insights that reflect the health and maturity of IT security controls, including where KRIs currently do not exist.
Strengthen Vodafone’s overall IT systems & infrastructure security through structured control testing, expert technical guidance and continuous improvement aligned to industry best practices.

Who you are

Strong practitioner knowledge of IT security controls, with proven ability to apply and influence their adoption across complex, large‑scale IT and cloud environments.
Proven experience in designing and executing security control testing including assessment of control design and effectiveness, supported by clearly defined metrics, KRIs and testing methodologies.
Ability to identify security gaps and control deficiencies, translate findings into clear and actionable remediation guidance and work with stakeholders to drive timely closure.
Experience in defining, measuring and reporting IT security KPIs and KRIs with the ability to provide accurate, data‑driven insights that demonstrate control health, effectiveness and maturity to senior stakeholders.
Strong ability to collaborate with cross‑functional teams across technology, operations and risk functions, effectively communicating technical security topics to both technical and non‑technical audiences
Experience in IT control testing, audit or assurance roles
Relevant industry security certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, CISM, cloud or vendor‑specific are desired but not a mandatory.
