As a Lead Consultant in Trust by Design Engineering, you'll play a pivotal role in embedding security controls and processes into our business systems and products. Your work will directly impact our ability to develop life-changing medicines by ensuring privacy, security, and trust are foundational to our solutions. Collaborate with engineering, product, compliance, and risk teams to enable secure innovation and drive exponential growth.

Accountabilities

• Partner with development and architecture teams to integrate robust security and privacy controls throughout the product lifecycle.
• Conduct security-by-design reviews, threat modelling, and risk assessments for new and existing solutions.
• Contribute to the creation, adoption, and continuous improvement of secure development standards, patterns, and reusable components.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP) and implementing their security features.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CCSP, CSSLP) are a plus.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.

At AstraZeneca, you'll be part of a dynamic environment where innovation thrives! Our work has a direct impact on patients, transforming our ability to develop life-changing medicines. With cutting-edge science combined with leading digital technology platforms and data, we empower the business to perform at its peak. Join us at a crucial stage of our journey in becoming a digital and data-led enterprise. Here, you'll have the opportunity to explore new technologies in hackathons, challenge yourself with large data sets, and push new boundaries. Be part of a team that has the backing to innovate, disrupt an industry, and change lives.
