Are you an experienced Infrastructure, Network or Cyber Security professional looking to take the next step in your career? We're looking for a technically strong Information Security Lead to join a growing technology business, taking ownership of information security, governance and compliance while remaining closely involved with infrastructure and cyber security.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has progressed through Infrastructure Engineering, Network Security, Cyber Security Engineering or Technical Security and is ready to move into a broader Information Security leadership role. Working closely with Infrastructure, IT Operations, Engineering and senior stakeholders, you'll help shape the organisation's security posture, ensuring security is embedded across networks, cloud platforms, servers and business systems.
You'll combine hands-on technical knowledge with information security governance, helping drive continual improvement across the Information Security Management System (ISMS), security controls and compliance activities. You'll lead security risk assessments, coordinate vulnerability management and remediation programmes, support penetration testing, oversee supplier security assurance, manage information security incidents and contribute to Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning. You'll also play a key role in maintaining ISO 27001 certification, supporting customer audits and promoting a strong security culture throughout the organisation.
We're looking for someone with a solid technical background who understands how infrastructure is designed, secured and supported. Experience working with technologies such as network security, firewalls, Windows Server, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Azure, endpoint security, identity and access management (IAM), vulnerability management, patch management and infrastructure hardening will be highly beneficial.
Alongside your technical expertise, you'll have exposure to ISO 27001, information security frameworks, security audits, governance, risk management and compliance. Experience working with Cyber Essentials, supplier assurance, security policies and incident response would also be advantageous.
