Technical Security Governance Lead - Application Security
WPP, London, England, United Kingdom +1
The role
Why we're hiring
We are looking for a Lead Application Security Engineer to strengthen Secure Development across WPP.
Working within TSG, you will partner with software engineers, architects and product teams to establish practical security guardrails, help teams build the capabilities needed to meet them, and develop technical assurance that demonstrates whether those controls remain effective.
You will not own development pipelines, security tooling or software delivery. Instead, you will provide the technical leadership, evidence and challenge that helps engineering teams build security into the way they develop software and continuously improve their security practices.
Success requires strong technical credibility with engineers, a practical understanding of modern software development, and the ability to influence technical outcomes without direct authority.
The role sits within Technical Security Governance (TSG), reporting to the Director, Security Governance & Posture within the Group CISO organisation.
