An opportunity has become available at UIS for an experienced Administrator to join the Information and Cyber Security Team. In this role, you will work closely with the team to provide efficient and high-quality administrative support for the cyber security compliance programme.

You will be responsible for effectively coordinating and providing the necessary administrative support to staff and students in relation to cyber security compliance. This includes consistent and timely preparation, dissemination and maintenance of compliance training courses, as well as the production of regular compliance reports for key stakeholders. In addition, you will act as the first point of contact for staff members and students in handling related queries, ensuring prompt resolution and supporting the implementation of agreed corrective and preventative measures.
