About the role
Key Responsibilities
- Design, schedule and deliver the security awareness programme — onboarding training, refresher modules, role-specific content and ad-hoc campaigns.
- Run regular phishing simulations: plan scenarios, execute campaigns, analyse results, and report on trends and high-risk areas.
- Develop engaging communications — intranet posts, newsletters, posters, short-form video, Teams updates — that turn policy into something people actually read and remember.
- Champion a "security is everyone's job" culture and act as a visible, approachable point of contact for security questions across the business.
- Communicate Info Sec & Cyber policies, standards and guidance in plain language to non-technical audiences.
- Act as a first-line security advisor to business teams — triaging questions, signposting the right specialist, and handling simple queries yourself.
- Work with HR, IT, Legal and business unit leads to make sure new joiners, leavers and movers are handled securely.
- Coordinate projects and initiatives on behalf of the Info Sec team — build and maintain project plans, track actions, chase owners, and keep momentum.
- Run the operational rhythm of the team: stand-ups, status reports, RAID logs, steering pack preparation.
- Produce regular operational reporting and dashboards — KPIs, training completion, phishing results, audit actions, risk register movement.
- Deliver simple items end-to-end yourself (e.g. policy refresh comms, training rollouts, audit evidence gathering) so the wider team is freed up for deeper technical work.
- Brief other teams (Delivery, Sales, Product, Managed Services, Customer Success) on Info Sec & Cyber updates so they can position security confidently with customers and within their own work.
- Drive training and enablement activities for cyber security across the business — owning the schedule, logistics and engagement, while subject matter experts contribute content and delivery.
- Support customer-facing security activities where needed — questionnaires, due diligence responses, audit evidence — coordinating inputs from the right specialists.
Skills Knowledge and Expertise
- 1–3 years' experience in a coordination, project support, communications, learning & development, or junior security/IT/compliance role.
- Strong organisational skills — comfortable running multiple workstreams, chasing actions, and keeping plans, trackers and reports up to date without being asked.
- Excellent written and verbal communication in English — able to translate technical concepts into clear, engaging messages for non-technical audiences.
- Confident working with stakeholders at all levels, from new joiners through to senior leaders.
- A genuine interest in cyber security and a desire to build a career in the field — and the curiosity and self-discipline to learn the domain quickly.
- Solid working knowledge of everyday productivity tools — Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, PowerPoint, Excel), and comfort picking up new platforms.
- A delivery mindset: you finish things, you follow up, and you sweat the operational detail.
- Based in South Africa with the right to work locally, and comfortable working with colleagues across UK, Europe and other Sabio regions.
- Exposure to security awareness platforms and phishing simulation tools (e.g. KnowBe4, Proofpoint Security Awareness, Hoxhunt, Mimecast Awareness Training, Microsoft Defender Attack Simulation Training).
- Familiarity with common security frameworks and standards (ISO 27001, NIST CSF, Cyber Essentials, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, POPIA / GDPR) at an awareness level — you don't need to be an auditor, but you should know what they're for.
- Experience running internal communications or learning campaigns — newsletters, intranet content, training rollouts.
- Project coordination experience using tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Monday, MS Planner or similar.
- Basic data and reporting skills — pulling together dashboards or status packs from multiple sources (Excel, Power BI or similar).
- Experience working in a regulated, customer-facing or managed services environment.
- Foundation-level security certification (e.g. ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC), CompTIA Security+, ISO 27001 Foundation) — or active progress toward one.
- Exposure to GRC tooling, risk registers or audit evidence management.
- Experience supporting customer security questionnaires, due diligence requests or RFP security responses.
- Background in adult learning, instructional design or behaviour-change communications.
