This is a hands-on technical leadership role covering security platforms, detection and monitoring, endpoint and identity security, vulnerability management and incident response. You’ll work closely with senior technology stakeholders to strengthen security controls across a modern hybrid environment.
For the right person, there is also a genuine opportunity to develop further into security architecture, strategy and governance.

What You’ll Bring
  • You’ll be an experienced Security Engineer / Senior Security Engineer / Lead Security Engineer with strong hands-on technical capability and the confidence to take ownership.

  • Practical experience with Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management and Zero Trust.
  • The ability to translate security risks and requirements into practical technical controls.
  • Scripting/automation experience with PowerShell, Python or KQL would be advantageous.
What’s on Offer
This is a great opportunity for a strong security engineer who wants ownership, technical influence and broader exposure to architecture without stepping away from the hands-on engineering work.
You’ll have the opportunity to build and improve security capability, influence technology decisions and work alongside senior architecture and technology leadership.
