Job Description
An IT Security Trainer is required to join an industry leading organisation in the energy sector, a genuinely global business with operations spanning multiple continents, thousands of employees.
This is a permanent, full-time role that is based in Aberdeen (hybrid – 4 days in office).
The opportunity
This is an interesting and varied role that sits at the intersection of cyber security and people engagement. You’ll be taking ownership of a security awareness training programme that already has solid foundations, with real scope to mature it, and drive meaningful improvement in how cyber security is understood and practised across the business.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll plan and deliver the full range of security awareness activity, from regular phishing campaigns and email security training to an annual cyber security awareness month brought to life through blog posts, webinars, presentations, and other creative formats. You’ll also plan and implement cyber security drill exercises for both IT and business audiences, feeding lessons learned back into the programme with support from business continuity leads.
A key part of the role will be building and leading a new internal Cyber Champions Network, managing members from across the business to help embed a stronger security culture. You’ll manage communications to key stakeholders on cyber security initiatives and provide ongoing, evidence-based feedback on what’s working and what needs to improve.
You’ll ideally have most of the following
Experience planning, creating, and delivering tailored IT or cyber security training to diverse audiences
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present confidently to wide audiences
Experience running and managing phishing awareness campaigns
The ability to translate between technical teams and non-technical business users
A background in or strong interest in cyber security
Experience with Immersive Crisis Simulations platform (advantageous but not essential)
Don’t worry if you don’t tick every box. If you have a passion for security awareness and a track record of engaging people through training, it’s well worth a conversation.
Why this role?
Security awareness training is only as good as the engagement it generates, and this organisation knows that. You’ll have the budget, the mandate, and the seniority to do the job properly, building something that genuinely changes how thousands of people think about cyber security in their day to day working lives. It’s a role with real creative autonomy and a tangible impact.
What’s on offer
A competitive salary and benefits package, hybrid working in Aberdeen (4 days in office), working within a globally recognised business that takes cyber security seriously at the highest level. If you’re looking for a role where you can own a programme, build something meaningful, and have your ideas heard and acted on, this is a strong opportunity.
