About the role

The IAM team is made up of Security Analysts, and Product, Engineering and Operations teams, working across the Tesco group to improve our IAM controls throughout the colleague and application lifecycles.  We’re responsible for ensuring key controls are in place, encompassing joiner/mover/leaver, access requests, reviews and the contingent worker lifecycle.

As a Security Analyst III for Insight & Compliance in the IAM team, you’ll be responsible for our overall strategy and processes for building insight and tracking our compliance and performance, to underpin the work of the wider team. This will involve a mix of completing your own analysis while also collaborating with other team members and sharing your knowledge and capabilities.

The position will be based at our Shire Park Campus in Welwyn Garden City. We aim for a blended working model, underpinned by flexibility.

You will be responsible for

• Showcasing great analytical and insight techniques for the team, being both a role model and a coach
• Acting as the custodian of our compliance data and standards, rigorously protecting data to always ensure we represent the truth
• Formulating the vision, strategy and pathway for new insight and compliance work within the team
• Working collaboratively both inside the team and across the wider Tesco group to reach our shared goals
• Using data to highlight opportunities and issues that help us build our next generation of access controls
• Keeping up to date with new developments and capabilities across wider internal/external security landscapes
• Managing junior analysts within the Insight & Compliance workstream

You will need

We’re interested in the unique experiences and capabilities that you can bring to the role and our team, so we’d prefer that you tell us what you have to offer instead of giving you a long checklist.

We do think you’ll be someone who is passionate about data and has attention to detail, while understanding the importance of building strong relationships and working in an open and honest way. As you’ll lead and be an expert and mentor for other team members, it’s likely you’ll have acquired experience in a similar senior analyst role, but it’s not essential.

As a minimum we would expect that you have experience, and can demonstrate, working with large and complex datasets to achieve outcomes. This is likely to mean you have high capability with tools such as SQL, Python and Excel, and are able to use and share your knowledge on a day-to-day basis.

It’s great if you have experience working within the cyber security or software development domains, but don’t worry if you don’t – this knowledge is easily substituted with a willingness to learn, explore, and ask questions!
