CybersecuritySecurity Awareness Specialist

Why we're hiring:

The Security Awareness Specialist will lead the design, delivery, and continuous evolution of our global security awareness programme. This role owns the full training lifecycle—from planning and content creation through to monthly delivery, engagement, and performance measurement.

As part of the global Digital Security & Risk Management function, you will play a key role in shaping secure behaviours across WPP. You’ll achieve this through engaging training experiences, behavioural nudges, and impactful monthly spotlight campaigns aligned to our annual strategy. This is a hands-on role requiring creativity, structure, and the ability to drive consistent behavioural change at scale through our learning platforms.

What you'll be doing:

Develop and maintain the annual security awareness and behaviour change roadmap
Align monthly themes with key organisational risks, the evolving threat landscape, and regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 27001/42001, SOC2)
Continuously enhance the programme using AI-driven approaches, microlearning, and behavioural science techniques

Design high-quality, engaging training content (videos, modules, microlearning, quizzes, infographics, behavioural nudges)
Craft clear, creative, and human-centred messaging for campaigns and monthly spotlights
Partner with security SMEs to translate complex technical risks into simple, actionable behaviours
Maintain and evolve a library of evergreen learning materials

Build, configure, and publish monthly training modules in the Learning Management System (LMS)
Ensure content is accessible, relevant, and consistent across regions and brands

Deliver targeted awareness campaigns aligned to the annual programme (e.g., phishing, identity security, AI safety, data handling)
Execute short-form behavioural nudges via email, intranet, and internal communications channels

Track training completion, engagement, and behavioural outcomes
Analyse data from phishing simulations, LMS analytics, and incident trends to inform programme improvements
Produce monthly and quarterly reporting for the CISO and security leadership
Benchmark programme effectiveness against industry standards

Partner with Business Security Services leads and stakeholders to drive adoption and engagement
Support awareness initiatives during major incidents, policy updates, and key business events

What you'll need:

Experience in security awareness, internal communications, learning design, or behavioural training
A strong ability to simplify complex cyber security concepts into clear, actionable messaging
Excellent storytelling, copywriting, and content creation skills
Hands-on experience with LMS platforms and e-learning authoring tools
Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage a consistent monthly cadence
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, global environment
Solid understanding of cyber security fundamentals (e.g., phishing, identity, data handling, cloud, AI safety)
Familiarity with behavioural science principles (e.g., nudging, habit formation, reinforcement) is a plus
