Experience with vulnerability assessments/penetration testing and driving remediation to closure. Working knowledge of frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR, with practical experience embedding controls operationally. Comfortable working in automated environments using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps). Strong communication skills: able to articulate risk clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. (Desirable) Network/firewall knowledge.

Responsibilities: Monitor and investigate security events across cloud and internal infrastructure using SIEM/security monitoring tools, distinguishing genuine threats from false positives. Lead and support incident response activities (containment, remediation, recovery, and post-incident reviews). Own vulnerability management follow-through: track remediation actions, validate fixes, and ensure closure in line with risk appetite. Improve security controls across IAM, network security, system hardening and vulnerability management (primarily Azure-focused). Embed security into Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD: work within Terraform-managed environments and automated pipelines so security is built in by design. Support penetration tests and third-party security assessments, ensuring outcomes translate into completed remediation. Assist with compliance/assurance activity (e.g., ISO27001, SOC2, GDPR) by producing logs, evidence, and documentation. Act as a confident security advocate in roadmap decisions, able to push back, prioritise critical risk items, and bring stakeholders with you.
