Your new company

I'm currently hiring exclusively for a production business based in Yorkshire for an Operational Technology Security Lead to travel across and enhance the security of various production sites.

The ideal candidate will be well-experienced in OT security within the FMCG sector and will have a background of developing and driving OT Security strategies, and hands-on experience assessing machinery, production equipment and engineering processes for security risks.
This role will involve travelling to sites and enhancing the security posture of an FMCG organisation's OT estate. Therefore, the ability to independently travel to various sites is absolutely necessary.

What you'll be doing:

• Reporting to the Head of Engineering and working with the Head of IT Security, you'll be travelling to sites in the North of England (largely Yorkshire based) and working with engineers to understand their ways of working, their machinery and equipment, with the view to identifying potential security risks
• Working with engineering teams in a solution-focused way to understand, identify and mitigate potential cyber risks.
• Working collaboratively with site staff, senior stakeholders and third parties to develop your OT Security Strategy
• Developing a thorough understanding of the current state OT estate, documenting measures for improvement and remediation
• Following up with the relevant parties to ensure adherence to your strategy in line with the principles relevant to OT Security standards e.g. IEC62443
• Developing an understanding of critical OT services and systems and developing disaster recovery plans
• Using your contemporary knowledge of cybersecurity and Operational Technology as a whole to continually enhance the overall security of the business across various sites

What I'm looking for:

• OT Security experience within a FMCG environment would be ideal but experience within translatable organisation types and sectors will be considered
• Applied understanding of core OT Security standards and systems commonly adhered to and used. E.g. IEC62443, SCADA systems
• Experience engaging comfortably with various areas of a business in a solution focused way with the view to enhancing their overall security posture within Operational Technology
• Ability to effectively articulate OT Risk to stakeholders inside and outside of engineering and IT capacities
• Ability to develop and drive an all-encompassing OT Security Strategy across multiple sites

What you'll get in return

In addition to a salary up to £72,000 per year, you'll also receive:

• 10% Discretionary Bonus
• £5,500 car allowance
• 25 days annual leave, not including bank holidays
• Annual Target Bonus
• Private medical insurance
• Pension up to 8% matched
