Information Security Operations Manager in England

Join to apply for the Information Security Operations Manager role at British Heart Foundation.

Location: Hybrid - London office & home

Vacancy type: Permanent

About the role

Are you an Information Security leader who could put their mark on the work at one of the UK’s largest charities? British Heart Foundation (BHF) is undergoing a digital transformation and seeking an Information Security Operations Manager, with excellent team management experience, to lead on implementing security protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of BHF information. You’ll collaborate with teams across British Heart Foundation (BHF) to protect BHF’s objectives and integrity. BHF operates a hybrid security operations model leveraging an outsourced MDR service. You’ll be responsible for our daily working relationship with the service provider and will lead a team of security professionals, manage a Security Operations Centre (SOC), and coordinate responses to security incidents.

About you

With previous line management experience, this opportunity would suit a Security Operations professional who excels in a collaborative environment and can take a hands-on approach to vendor relationship management. You’ll have strong knowledge and experience of the following:

• Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
• Critical Security Controls (CIS)

You’ll have proven experience in managing and delivering complex Security Operations activities within a fast-paced and dynamic security domain, including experience in Cloud Security, Identity and Access Management, Zero Trust, Security Service Edge, and SASE. You’ll have excellent communication skills, able to translate complex security-related matters for a non-technical audience, and convey information security operations to both technical and non-technical colleagues. With excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, you’ll manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment. You’ll benefit from a background of continuous process improvement, conducting post-incident reviews to identify enhancements. Previous experience working in a Security Operations Centre (SOC) team would be advantageous but not essential.
