Shape the future of security at OUP

We’re looking to reimagine the way security is delivered at OUP. This is a unique career opportunity for passionate security professionals that really want to lead, shape, and influence the build out of a security function that makes a tangible impact on the business.

Work with purpose

Help to secure an organization that’s been moving knowledge and learning forward for over 500 years. The work you do will ultimately help make progress possible – whether that’s a child reading their first words, or a researcher making their latest discovery.

Dynamic environment

You’ll join a team where people are actively encouraged to challenge themselves, share ideas, and be vocal, culminating in a vibrant technology function that ultimately understands what the business wants to achieve and how to deliver that in a more secure way.

No more operating in silos

Be part of a security team that believes in being a genuine enabler to the business rather than being a function that says ‘no’. You’ll have an open door to senior stakeholders and get to play a key part in building a culture of security at OUP that enables innovation and growth.

Exciting time for the product

Engage collaboratively with product teams working at the forefront of innovation in educational publishing. Support the development of cutting-edge learning tools and enable new ways to engage readers. You’ll get to secure the future of how content is created and consumed.

Outward looking

Whether it’s improving against industry standard benchmarks, working more effectively with third-party suppliers, or implementing new best practices, we’re passionate about creating a best-in-class function where you can collaborate with talented colleagues.
