Security Solutions & Automation Lead (EMEA)
Location: Springtown, Northern Ireland (Hybrid Working Available)
Drive the Future of Security Operations Through Automation, AI & Innovation
Are you passionate about transforming business processes through automation, data intelligence, and AI-driven solutions?
We are seeking an ambitious and forward-thinking Security Solutions & Automation Lead to help modernise and optimise security operations across the EMEA region. This is a unique opportunity to lead digital transformation initiatives, leveraging Microsoft technologies, AI tools, and automation platforms to create smarter, more efficient ways of working.

* Design and implement workflow automation using Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft 365 applications, and related technologies.
* Apply a solutions architecture mindset to understand complex operational processes and design scalable improvements.
* Drive the evolution of the Regional Security Operations Centre (RSOC) through automation, analytics, and process optimisation.
* Develop insightful dashboards, reports, and KPI frameworks using Power BI.
* Analyse operational data to identify trends, risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
* Collaborate with stakeholders across multiple countries and functions to prioritise transformation initiatives.
* Lead the implementation and adoption of new systems, tools, and ways of working.
* Manage projects and workstreams using platforms such as Smartsheet and Microsoft Project.
* Champion the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, including Microsoft Copilot, AI assistants, automation agents, and emerging digital tools to improve productivity and decision‑making.
* Promote a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and digital transformation.

* Strong problem‑solving capabilities and systems‑thinking approach.
Highly Desirable
* Demonstrable expertise in Microsoft Copilot and AI‑powered productivity tools.
* Strong understanding of Artificial Intelligence applications within business operations.
* Experience deploying or working with AI agents, generative AI tools, machine learning applications, or intelligent automation solutions.
