Why this role is worth a look
The firm is mid-way through two significant security initiatives, a zero-trust operating model transition and ISO 27001 certification. You won't be maintaining someone else's work. You'll be shaping how security actually operates across a complex, internationally connected organisation.

- Supporting MFA, SSO, PAM, MDM/MAM, and Conditional Access alongside the Endpoints team
- Collaborating with third-party penetration testers on vulnerability identification and remediation
- Contributing to ISO 27001 certification and CIS controls implementation
What they need from you
- Solid hands-on experience with CrowdStrike EDR, this is central to the role
- Experience across Palo Alto firewalls, Cisco ISE, Entra ID / Active Directory, Intune, Mimecast, and Menlo Security
- Proven track record in incident response and vulnerability management, not just tooling knowledge
- Understanding of security frameworks, ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, PCI-DSS
- Strong communication skills, you'll be engaging with stakeholders at all levels, not just the security team
