Help us create a better future, quicker

At ScottishPower, we’re looking for a Cyber Security and Business Continuity professional to join our team and help strengthen how we protect our systems, data, and operations.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a varied, hands-on role where you’ll support the planning, delivery and continuous improvement of cyber security and business continuity across the Customer Business. Working alongside a team of experienced security professionals, you’ll play a key part in keeping our operations secure, resilient, and aligned with industry standards.

You’ll be involved in everything from incident identification and response through to risk management, third-party assurance, and recovery planning. A big part of the role is reviewing how we currently work, identifying where we can improve, and helping to implement changes that make a real difference to our overall security posture.

You’ll also collaborate with teams across the wider Iberdrola Group, as well as external partners, giving you exposure to a global cyber function and the opportunity to contribute to wider strategic initiatives. At the same time, you’ll stay close to day-to-day operations, helping ensure our services are delivered effectively and consistently.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone with a background in cyber security and/or business continuity within an IT environment, ideally with experience across monitoring, incident response, or service delivery. Knowledge of frameworks like ISO 27001 or 22301 is helpful, and any experience with tools such as SIEM, SOAR, XDR or vulnerability management would be an advantage.

You’ll need to be confident communicating with stakeholders at all levels, able to translate technical risks into clear, practical insights. Strong problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to balance strategic thinking with operational delivery will be key to success.

If you’re looking for a role where you can develop your career while making a real impact in a global, forward-thinking organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

What’s in it for you

As well as a competitive salary which is reviewed annually, you can also enjoy a number of other benefits. With our pension scheme, we’ll double match your contribution up to a company contribution of 10%.
