Role: Security Operations Lead

Location: Nottingham City Centre Office with a flexible hybrid working model of around once per week or two in the office.

Salary: Up to £75k plus benefits

You are practical; you love being hands-on technically and creating cool solutions that help people.

You might be described as a little paranoid! This is only because are always thinking about how secure your technical estate is and what can be done to improve it.

You are great with people; you have a natural affinity for leadership, knowing how to get the best out of people, managing external teams, and liaising with ease around other departments to share knowledge, and respectfully debate proposed technical solutions with great outcomes.

If the above seems to describe you, then read on, this could be the one!

I am working with a brilliant Nottingham-based company that is large but feels small and tight-knit. I’m looking for a SecOps Lead for them and I’m hoping that’s you.

In a nutshell, what I’m after is someone happy being hands-on, who started in Infrastructure, going on work in Security, ideally in a DevSecOps capacity/ environment, with Azure Cloud and DevOps experience with tooling such as Terraform, AKS, ansible, etc. and with leadership experience, ideally including managing an offshore team.

This role will see you working in a hands-on capacity, liaising heavily with the information security, compliance, and development teams to help you design, deliver, and own excellent technical solutions, including building out tooling, that adheres to best practices set out by the information security and compliance teams- across their infrastructure and application platforms which span on-premises and the Azure cloud.

You will make sure that their platforms are secure and create a roadmap for their DevSecOps strategy that will ensure good growth and scalability for their platforms. You will be expected to keep up with current technological trends to be able to advise on new products, services, and other technologies, and implement them into the roadmap, so it’s always up-to-date and fit for purpose.

Taking the lead on cyber security incidents, you’ll ensure that monitoring and alerting capabilities across their infrastructure and application estate are well-set up to identify and remediate any potentially harmful or suspicious behaviour. Further, you’ll hold regular workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions on cyber security best practices to disseminate this knowledge throughout the company to encourage prevention and awareness – prevention is always better than cure!

Your leadership experience will stand you in good stead here- you will be leading one person directly under your charge, and an external SOC (Security Operations Centre), initially. You will then build out a team around you further down the line.

We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.
