- Preferred Qualifications

Senior individual contributor with two distinct responsibilities: owning the Design Assurance methodology library, and performing the specialist domain reviews nobody else in the practice can cover - cryptography and post-quantum, and AI security.

About the team

Design Assurance and Product Management makes sure security is designed in before anything is built, and that GSKs security capabilities are run as products rather than projects.

Design

Assurance independently verifies that solutions meet the architecture standards set elsewhere in Cyber Architecture and Solutions; it writes none of those standards, and that separation is what makes the review worth anything.

Product

Management owns the security portfolio, vendor governance and investment analytics, and is how GSK manages its managed service vendor as a whole. Platform support engineering moves into this function, with a small internal team retaining oversight while the vendor operates more than 30 platforms and the data fabric under an OTO model. Seventeen roles.

What makes this role different

Two distinct jobs in one role. You own the Design Assurance methodology library - review templates, scoring criteria, evidence requirements and finding classification - and keep it current as architecture standards change. Alongside that you are the specialist reviewer for the two domains nobody else can cover: cryptography, including key management, HSM, PKI and TLS review and the post-quantum migration to CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium; and AI security, reviewing against MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.

Depth in one of those two is essential; depth in both is rare and will stand out.

Key responsibilities

This role will provide you the opportunity to lead key activities to progress your career. These responsibilities include some of the following:

- Own the Design Assurance methodology library: review templates, assessment scoring criteria, evidence requirements and finding classification.




- Run the annual methodology calibration: re-score a sample of closed reviews across reviewers to prove that a High finding means the same thing whoever raised it, and correct the criteria where it does not.
- Perform specialist domain reviews in niche areas including cryptography and AI, where generalist review is not credible.
- Translate new or changed architecture standards into assessment criteria the practice can apply consistently.
- Develop assessment approaches for emerging technology types before they arrive in the review queue.
- Advise reviewers on how to apply the methodology in ambiguous cases.
- Convert published architecture standards into assessment criteria, and return ambiguity in a standard to its owning domain as a defect rather than resolving it by writing the missing wording.
- Record findings clearly enough to be acted on without further interpretation.
- Escalate contested findings rather than negotiating them away.
- Mentor analysts on methodology and review practice.
- Use approved AI tools in your day-to-day work to improve your own productivity and your teams ways of working, sharing what works and applying sound judgement, including validating outputs and following GSKs Responsible AI, privacy and security requirements.
- Hold assurance evidence to GxP and data integrity expectations, so the review record stands up to audit and regulatory inspection.

Basic Qualifications

- 10+ years in cyber security - domain focus: Design Assurance for Cryptography PQC and AI Security
- Owning the DA methodology library and vendor assurance playbook - templates, scoring, evidence requirements, finding classification, test scenarios and acceptance criteria - automated where possible
- Leading design assurance reviews for Cryptography PQC,



validating control implementations and migration outputs against architecture standards
- Leading design assurance reviews for AI Security - prompt-injection defences, guardrails, model access, agent tool-calling scope and AI data protection
- Senior review lead for complex and cross-domain reviews, peer-reviewing analyst outputs and running in-life health checks on critical tools

Preferred Qualifications

- Cryptography, key management and PQC migration knowledge
- AI platform security controls and threat modelling
- Assurance and control-assessment frameworks - ISO 27001 Annex A, NIST CSF and NIST SP 800-53 - applied as review criteria rather than cited as background.
- Scripting or tooling to automate review evidence and template maintenance
- Updating Design Assurance assessment criteria whenever architecture standards change
- Qualifications: Bachelors degree in a relevant discipline, or equivalent qualified experience
- Typical tools and technologies: Design assurance methodology library, review templates and assessment scoring, cryptographic standards and key management review across HSM, PKI and TLS, post-quantum cryptography including CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, AI security review using MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, evidence requirements and acceptance criteria.
