Manage and evolve a security education and awareness programme: own mandatory training cycles, conference/travel briefings, new-hire onboarding, quarterly threat briefings, maintain an internal security portal, and produce ongoing communications to drive security-conscious behaviour across a research organisation.
We are seeking a consultant to manage and evolve our clients Security Education & Awareness programme. The programme protects their people, research, and intellectual property by driving security-conscious behaviour across the organisation through training, communications, and engagement.
A critical success factor is understanding the clients unique research culture: their training and communications must be engaging, collaborative, and lead with "the why" — explaining the reasons behind our security controls without feeling bureaucratic, overly alarmist, or punitive.
Requirements
Core Responsibilities
- Mandatory Security Training. Own the annual training cycle end-to-end: coordinate with our e-learning production vendor to refresh video content and scenarios each year, manage rollout and completion tracking, build leadership dashboards, and escalate non-compliance.
- Conference & Travel Security. Produce location-specific security briefings and short-form audio content for major conferences, drawing on threat intelligence inputs and distributing through our events coordination channels.
- New Hire Security Onboarding. Deliver monthly live onboarding sessions, create interactive exercises and follow-up assessments, maintain on-demand recordings, and manage automated follow-up communications.
- Threat Briefings. Coordinate quarterly security briefings for high-profile researchers and secure recurring slots at leadership forums to deliver concise threat updates.
- Internal Security Portal. Maintain and expand the clients security resource hub with a library of bite-sized training content, threat updates, and best-practice guidance tailored to AI research workflows.
- Ongoing Communications & Engagement. Produce regular security awareness content across internal channels — newsletters, chat posts, short-form video — to keep security top-of-mind between formal training cycles.
Essential:
- Proven track record managing security education and awareness programmes at scale in a technology or research organisation
- Strong content creation skills across formats: video, e-learning, written communications, infographics, and audio
- Broad corporate security expertise spanning insider risk, IP protection, travel and personal security, and event security — with the ability to distil complex threats into clear, actionable guidance for non-security audiences
- Credibility and gravitas to present confidently at all levels of the organisation, from new joiners to senior leadership and high-profile researchers
- Comfortable operating as the sole owner of the programme — driving strategy, planning, and delivery autonomously while collaborating with the wider security team for subject-matter input and stakeholder support
- Comfort working with senior leadership, legal, communications, and people teams as key stakeholders
- An automation mindset - experience building workflows, dashboards, and pipelines to reduce manual overhead
- Willingness and ability to build an appreciation for the clients unique research culture — tailoring training and communications to lead with "the why".
Desirable:
- Experience in AI, machine learning, or frontier technology environments
- Background in threat intelligence, travel security, or nation-state threat awareness
- Experience building security champion or ambassador programmes
- Relevant professional certifications (SSAP, CISSP, or equivalent)
