Senior Security Manager in Manchester

About the Job

Are you passionate about cybersecurity? Are you an excellent communicator with demonstrable experience of delivering security services within organisations? Would you relish putting these skills into practice by taking on a role within Capgemini to protect us and our clients from cyber threats?

As a Security Manager, you will be the focal point of contact for any security matters on client accounts. With diverse clients across any industry sector, a day in the life of a Capgemini Security Manager is never dull. The role requirements vary from client to client, requiring flexibility that will be rewarded through exposure to new challenges and opportunities.

You will be joining a fantastic team of more than 150 security professionals who deliver world‑class security services day in and day out.

Hybrid working: The places you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of company offices, client sites, and your home. You will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Pre‑employment checks will be conducted if you are successfully offered this position, including identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back three continuous years, and a background check (Disclosure and Barring Service).

Your Role

No day is ever the same as a Security Manager, as each client is different. In a nutshell: you will be accountable for the end‑to‑end management of security issues and incidents, acting as a single point of contact for all security matters on client accounts.

The day‑to‑day responsibilities include holistic management of security, incident management, risk management, contractual compliance, and any other security services (such as SOCs, Threat Intelligence, or Vulnerability Management) delivered within a pragmatic approach to contractual requirements.

Some of the Work You Will Deliver

• Providing security advice and guidance
• Security incident management and response
• Governance and contractual compliance for all security deliverables
• Threat and vulnerability management / security risk management
• Management of client Information Security Management System (ISMS)
• Ensuring Secure By Design principles are upheld

You will have the opportunity to interact with a truly global team of security experts, from Architects to Engineers, from Compliance Managers to Developers. This outreach extends beyond security; we actively encourage staff to engage with other areas of the business and local communities.

We encourage you to bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini, equity, diversity, and inclusion are part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

Your Skills and Experience

• Good knowledge of Cyber Security and Information Assurance – an ability to demonstrate understanding across people, processes, and technology
• Interpret complex technical information and translate it effectively for different audiences
• Experience in security incident management investigations
• Ability to identify and drive improvements
• Working knowledge of ISO standards (e.g., ISO 27001) or similar frameworks such as PCI‑DSS, CyberEssentials

Hold, or be working towards, a relevant security qualification such as CISM, CISSP, or a similar Security Industry Certification.
