• Manage and enhance our security operations centre and other threat reports to proactively keep our environment safe.
• Implement both technology and behaviourally focused projects to reduce our cyber risk.
• Work closely with other information and technology teams to ensure that security is implemented effectively throughout our infrastructure, applications, data sets and processes.
• Confirm our environment is secure through regular security audits (e.g. penetration testing, risk analyses and phishing simulations etc) and implement improvements where issues are found.
• Educate and assess our staff to ensure they become increasingly cyber-resilient.

What you’ll bring

• Degree or equivalent experience in a related subject (e.g. cyber security, computer science etc.).
• Significant experience in a similar role, with a strong understanding of cyber security threats, incident response and risk management processes.
• Demonstrated strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to work effectively across all levels of the business.
• Demonstrated leadership and team management experience.
• Experience in applying principles of cyber security methodologies and frameworks, in particular NIST and Essential 8.
