      If you've ever stepped through the doors of a John Lewis or Waitrose shop, shopped online, or seen any of our adverts, you'll know there's something unique about us.

      That unique proposition is our Partners. As co-owners they have a say in our business and receive a share of the profits, so they put time and effort into making it work. Our Partners are the reason we're the success we are. They're our secret sauce; the opportunity for us to differentiate.

      Job Summary:

      Job Description:

      A warm welcome from The John Lewis Partnership! Thanks for your interest in joining us.

      The Partnership is a company that celebrates the uniqueness of each individual. Here, you’re not just an employee, you’re a Partner , and you’re valued for being your authentic self.

      We offer a range of incredible benefits that set us apart, including significant discounts, VIP hotel suites, flexible working arrangements, equal parenthood leave and more. Our business is a dynamic retail network, but it’s so much more than just retail.

      We are branching out into other sectors like built-to-rent, financial services, technology offerings and more , featuring diverse departments that offer an extensive array of products, food options, experiences, and services.

      We are dedicated to both the people we serve and the Partners who contribute to our success . For that is the shared purpose that drives us. By working together, in Partnership, we are creating a place with happier people, for a happier business and a happier world .

      What’s the role about?

      The John Lewis Partnership (JLP) Information Security strategy is bold and ambitious . We provide a collection of security services, delivered through people, processes and technology . Working collaboratively, these services ensure that customers can shop with us efficiently, safely and securely, every single day.

      The key purpose of the Information Security Incident Response team is to protect JLP data and systems by proactively detecting and responding to cyber security threats. We are the front line of cyber defence: monitoring and assessing cases, correlating observables, mitigating and defending against malicious cyber activity and adapting to an ever-changing threat landscape . We constantly engage with key stakeholders from across the business, third parties and our customers.

      If you’re passionate about cyber security, if you thrive and perform in fast-paced, high-demand scenarios, and if you want to make a real difference at the UK’s largest co-owned retailer, then this role is for you. Additionally, as JLP adds to its already successful cloud adoption with a full data centre migration and technology modernisation programme, it's a great time to be around!

      What you’ll be doing

      As the Partnership’s Information Security Manager for our Incident Response Service you will be responsible for managing a team of highly skilled SOC analysts and an outsourced service provider covering 24x7x365 monitoring .

      You will ensure that your service provides an adequate and proportionate response to any information security incidents that arise by owning and developing the run-books and operating procedures used, the proactive testing of the Partnership’s response and the leadership of incident management - including the flexing of hours in the event of a major occurrence.

      You will also constantly challenge performance and provide feedback to all other security services in support of continual learning and improvement.

      It’s a fantastic opportunity to be empowered to innovate alongside a supportive, collaborative and social team of security experts, and you’ll have the opportunity to grow and develop your cyber security career.

      Why do our Information Security Partners love working for us?

      “The JLP InfoSec team is a fantastic place to work and develop your career. You spend your time in a positive, supportive environment where your personal strengths are truly valued.

      There's nothing like working together in order to defend a business that you co-own from all kinds of cyber threats.”
