Systems Assurance Manager
We are seeking an experienced Systems Assurance Manager to lead the assurance, governance and continuous improvement of complex technology and business systems. This is an influential role for someone who can provide independent oversight, challenge effectively and ensure that systems remain secure, resilient, compliant and fit for purpose throughout their lifecycle.
You will work with technical teams, project managers, suppliers and senior stakeholders to establish assurance frameworks, assess risks and provide clear recommendations. The role will involve supporting the delivery of new systems, managing assurance activities across existing services and ensuring that issues are identified, recorded and resolved in a timely manner.
Key responsibilities
- Develop and maintain system assurance strategies, standards, processes and governance controls.
- Plan and lead assurance reviews, audits, technical assessments and readiness assessments.
- Evaluate system designs, architectures, operational processes and proposed changes against agreed requirements.
- Identify, assess and manage risks, dependencies, non-compliance and emerging issues.
- Provide concise assurance reports, dashboards and recommendations to senior stakeholders and governance forums.
- Monitor the effectiveness of controls, including security, resilience, availability, continuity and service performance.
- Work collaboratively with delivery teams and third-party suppliers to embed assurance throughout the system lifecycle.
- Support the development of lessons learned, continuous improvement plans and assurance maturity assessments.
About you
You will have substantial experience in systems assurance, technology governance, risk management, audit or a closely related discipline. You should be confident interpreting technical information, questioning evidence and translating complex findings into practical actions for varied audiences.
Strong knowledge of systems development and service management lifecycles, information security principles, risk frameworks and relevant regulatory or industry standards is essential. Experience of working in complex, regulated or safety-critical environments would be advantageous.
Excellent communication, influencing and organisational skills are required, along with a methodical approach and the confidence to work independently. Professional qualifications in assurance, audit, risk, security, service management or systems engineering are desirable.
What is offered
This role provides the opportunity to shape assurance practices, improve organisational resilience and contribute to the successful delivery of critical systems. A competitive benefits package, professional development support and flexible working arrangements are available.
