About this job

Due to sustained growth within the Intelligence Solutions Business Unit of Leonardo, and our expansion across multiple security domains we need to build our security management capacity.

You will meet with and present evidence to customer security managers and system accreditors.

You will prepare and maintain critical security documentation.
