What you’ll do

As the Cyber Portfolio and Governance Analyst, you will join the Cyber Agile Portfolio Management team and play a key role in enabling the Cyber leadership team and wider stakeholders to work effectively together while reducing risk across Vodafone.

You will work closely with stakeholders across Cyber Security to bring structure, visibility, and alignment to key priorities. Acting as a central point of coordination, you will translate complex information into clear reporting, communications, and governance outputs that support informed decision-making, effective prioritisation, and delivery across the Cyber portfolio.

You will partner with one or more Cyber functions to provide insight, governance, and operational support across financial management and reporting, resource planning, and portfolio oversight.

The role requires strong commercial awareness, a continuous improvement mindset, and a proactive approach to supporting teams in a complex and evolving Technology environment. You will also build a strong understanding of the Cyber landscape to provide effective, informed support across the portfolio.

With a particular focus on finance and resource management, portfolio governance, executive reporting, stakeholder engagement, and communications, this role plays an important part in maintaining oversight, driving alignment, and supporting the successful delivery of Cyber priorities.

• Lead ad hoc programmes and initiatives arising during the year that require coordination across Cyber teams.

Who you are
