Collaborating with Senior Managers, Audit & Risk, Finance and HR, you’ll ensure that only authorised users gain access to TalkTalk’s systems and applications and that individual accountability is assured, whilst providing a clear and consistent view of access management through accurate reporting.

The team

You’ll be part of the Security Risk Management team, which is a fundamental part of our strong and high-performing Security function within TalkTalk’s Technology and Security Business Unit.

• You’ll create RACI and conduct regular User Access Reviews and reconciliations of accesses in relation to internal staff, Outsourced Service Partners and Business Partners, to ensure no unauthorised access.

• Developing business cases where needed, to support and improve Access Management Framework and processes, you’ll also deliver presentations to Senior Managers and support the delivery of Information Security Training & Awareness activities.

• You’ll implement access control-related tools (IDAM, RBAC), ensuring these are successfully transitioned over to our partner, as well as the operational management of Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools and Security compliance audits such as ISO27001, PCIDSS, NIST, Finance audits, and TSA from the Access Management perspective.
