Senior Associate – Cloud and Platform Assurance Specialist

Requirements of the role

We are recruiting a Senior Associate – Cloud and Platform Assurance Specialist to join the Platform Assurance team within Cyber & Information Resilience.

The role will provide independent security assurance across the FCA’s cloud-hosted and SaaS services, with a particular focus on public-cloud security, Cloud Security Posture Management, SaaS Security Posture Management and cloud control effectiveness.

This role is positioned at Senior Associate level and is suited to an experienced security professional with solid technical knowledge of at least one major public-cloud platform, ideally Microsoft Azure and the ability to apply assurance principles consistently across Azure, AWS, SaaS and other cloud-hosted services.

You will combine architectural understanding with an assurance-led mindset, independently reviewing control design and effectiveness, validating security findings and helping platform and engineering teams make proportionate, risk-based remediation decisions. The position will remain independent from the ownership and implementation of the controls it assesses.

Although cloud assurance will be the principal focus, the role may also support assurance across identity, network, endpoint, secure software development and wider platform controls where these intersect with cloud services.
