• Collaborate closely with IT teams to guarantee secure configuration of all systems, networks, and applications while maintaining vigilant monitoring protocols.
• Oversee daily security operations including threat detection, response activities, and optimal configuration of all security tools to maximise effectiveness.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry regulations and internal policies by conducting audits and regular assessments of security controls.
• Lead engaging cybersecurity awareness training sessions for employees at all levels to foster a culture where security is prioritised across the organisation.
• Work collaboratively with third-party vendors to assess external risks and ensure contractual agreements include appropriate security provisions.
• Promote a security-first mindset throughout the business by advocating best practices and supporting colleagues in understanding their role in protecting sensitive information.
  
  

What You Bring

You will have demonstrated success managing end-to-end incident response processes under pressure while maintaining clear communication with stakeholders at all levels. A deep understanding of regulatory frameworks ensures you can navigate compliance requirements confidently during audits or policy reviews. Your ability to translate complex technical concepts into accessible guidance empowers colleagues through impactful training sessions. Above all else, your passion for nurturing safe digital spaces combined with your willingness to share knowledge makes you an invaluable asset who helps foster trust throughout the business.

• Possess recognised certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CEH, or CompTIA Security+ which demonstrate your commitment to professional excellence in cybersecurity.
• Demonstrate proficiency with SIEM tools like Splunk or IBM QRadar for effective monitoring and analysis of security events across complex environments.

• Be familiar with encryption technologies including PKI as well as secure key management practices essential for protecting sensitive data.
• Have hands-on experience managing vulnerability assessments, performing threat modelling exercises, and orchestrating incident response initiatives.
• Display an advanced understanding of network protocols alongside secure network design principles involving NAC solutions, VPNs (SSL/TLS/IPsec), and Zero Trust frameworks.
• Exhibit expertise in securing cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure—particularly around IAM controls, encryption methods, CASBs (Cloud Access Security Brokers), and related technologies.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry regulations (GDPR/PCI-DSS/ISO 27001/NIST) coupled with practical experience using GRC (Governance Risk Compliance) tools for audit readiness.
