• Identifying, prioritising, and managing security risks using industry-leading security tools.
• Planning and delivering security patching and system hardening initiatives.
• Investigating security events and supporting incident response activities.
• Collaborating with engineering teams to embed security controls into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation.
• Improving monitoring, threat detection, and response capabilities.
• Driving security improvement projects across cloud, endpoint, identity, and network security domains.
• Supporting compliance, assurance, and audit requirements within a regulated environment.
• Promoting secure engineering practices and mentoring technical teams on security best practices.

• Strong vulnerability management and remediation experience.
• Practical Windows and Linux hardening and patch management expertise.

• Familiarity with SIEM technologies and Microsoft security tooling.
• Strong understanding of Identity and Access Management (IAM), privileged access, and authentication controls.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable Experience

• Experience working alongside a SOC or managed security services provider.
• Exposure to Infrastructure as Code, automation, and CI/CD tooling.
• Knowledge of regulatory and security frameworks including ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, or similar.
• Experience within highly regulated environments.
• Relevant security certifications.
