About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Working with technical teams review the security impact of technology changes and ensure security controls are met before production releases.
Make sure environments are configured securely, verify controls and oversee technical change so access and data are handled appropriately.
Monitor threat intelligence for company exposure, review emerging threats, and share relevant intelligence with stakeholders.
Lead the response to security incidents, coordinating investigations and root cause analysis, and producing clear and accurate reports for internal and external stakeholders.
Own our security monitoring capability, ensuring effective logging across key platforms and improving detection while preventing alert storms and false positives.
Own the penetration testing and vulnerability management programme - not just detecting vulnerabilities, but risk-assessing them, deciding what needs fixing and working with the tech teams on solutions to close them down.
Promote secure development practices, working closely with developers to embed security into how they build rather than simply dictating standards from a distance.
Test security alerts, validate backup integrity, and coordinate business continuity and disaster recovery testing to build organisational resilience.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A strong track record leading cyber security, ideally built in a scale-up or startup with software experience (SaaS or otherwise) rather than a large, established enterprise
Hands-on experience owning a vulnerability management and penetration testing programme - not just finding vulnerabilities, but risk-assessing them and deciding how those can be integrated into a technical roadmap.
Strong knowledge of performing the continual configuration of existing toolsets as well as assessing potential new tooling and running effective logging, monitoring and threat detection capability.
Pragmatic and commercially aware, calm under pressure, highly organised and decisive, collaborative, curious, and focused on continuous improvement - with a high level of integrity.
