About Us

At OMNIA® Training, we've brought together some of the UK's most innovative defence training organisations under one powerful mission: to transform the British Army's training system and create the best-trained Army in the world. OMNIA are redefining the British Army's collective training. To do that, we are looking for the best and brightest minds from across the UK. We are backed by British innovation and powered by world-class experts, like you. OMNIA is at the heart of the UK's bold Land Industrial Strategy.

About the Role

This is more than a job — it's a mission. You will be part of a high-impact, collaborative environment, where we expect everyone to live the values and standards of the British Army. Every person in our team plays a critical role in delivering OMNIA's vision; designing, delivering, and transforming collective training so the British Army is ready to fight and win.

You'll work in a matrix organisation and report operationally through OMNIA Training Support Branch and functionally through the Raytheon UK Engineering Management team, specifically the Systems Security Engineering Group. Ultimately, you'll work with the British Army, championing innovation, and helping shape the future of military collective training.

The Omnia Information Asset Manager (IAM) role will be responsible for overseeing and managing an organization's information assets — which include data, documents, and other information-based resources; to ensure their security, compliance, accessibility, and overall value. The candidate is expected to be capable of working closely with customer and delivery teams; alone and unsupervised if necessary.

This position is critical to the successful delivery of the Collective Training Transformation Programme (CTTP), ensuring that training is delivered to meet the British Army's needs. This role concentrates on Information Assurance and Cyber Security but does not exclude supporting Physical and Personnel security elements.

Key responsibilities include classifying information, establishing handling rules, and implementing processes to protect data throughout its lifecycle. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring programme security and information assets are protected through policy, procedural and technical enhancements. You will be comfortable working in a matrix management organisation and will operate under a mixture of Customer and Omnia staff. You will be fluent in the concepts of Secure by Design.

• Supporting security assurance of systems or environments
• Capturing, expanding, and analysing security requirements that reflect IAM
