About this job
Lead Security Engineer Permanent - £65k - £75k strong benefits Location: Hybrid
Cardiff Your new company I am looking to recruit a skilled Lead Security Engineer to join a growing financial services organisation in Cardiff.
The company has strong benefits, a great culture, and are at a good stage in their journey.
This role is hybrid, looking at 2-3 days a week, so you will need to be located locally.
You'll be the Lead Security person, reporting into the CTO, with 1 direct report currently.
The role will grow over the coming years, but there is an initial plan to deploy Sentinel and Purview, with other good plans in place for the coming years.
This is a strong opportunity for a Security Engineer looking to take that next step or for a hands-on Security Manager looking for a great new environment.
Responsibilities
* Cyber Security management
* Identity and Access Management
* Microsoft Security suite coverage
* Azure Security Engineering
* Threat detection, IR & Forensics
Requirements
* Experience implementing and monitoring Microsoft Sentinel
* Experience with Microsoft Purview (desirable)
* Ability to be on site in Cardiff 2/3 days a week
* Experience with Azure
* Strong communication skills, and experience working with other departments and colleagues
What you’ll get in return As well as a salary of up to £75,000, there is also a company bonus scheme, typically 5-10%, Private Medical Insurance, 25 holiday days (increasing over time) plus bank holidays, matched pension contribution up to 8%, as well as other perks and benefits.
