Working within a structured PMO and project controls environment, the Document Controller ensures that all programme information is correctly classified, securely managed, version-controlled, and fully auditable across the project lifecycle.

This role is critical to maintaining information integrity, compliance, and governance standards across all project documentation, including regulated and protectively marked materials.

Key Responsibilities

Secure Document Control & Governance

• Manage the full lifecycle of controlled and sensitive programme documentation
• Ensure all documents are correctly classified, versioned, and securely stored

• Coordinate secure submission, storage, and retrieval of digital project information
• Maintain controlled records relating to model/data submissions where applicable
• Track document/model status through review and approval workflows

• Manage secure access requests and permissions for controlled systems
• Support onboarding/offboarding relating to information access rights
• Ensure external parties comply with programme information control standards
