Position Overview & Specifications
Insider Threat Consultant
Northampton
As a Barclays Insider Threat Consultant, you’ll work with risk leads across the organisation to ensure on an ongoing basis, as mandated by the Insider Threat standard, that Insider Threats are identified, risk assessed, & appropriate controls are in place including adequate monitoring & detection of potential wrongdoing & reporting of violations into Insider Core. For this role, you’ll also oversee Insider Threat across Barclays, including the provision of Insider Threat consultancy to the business, and adherence to the Insider Threat standard.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive, and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We’re flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances. Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.

Where will you be working?
Northampton was the birthplace of Barclaycard in 1966 and we've been based in Pavilion Drive since the building opened in 1997.
We purchased the building from the landlord in early 2018 as a sign of our commitment to investment in Northampton. Plans to further develop this Campus-style location are under way to allow for a real collaborative work environment. Based just off the A45 it is easily accessible by both car and bus routes.
