- **Location:** Snaith, UK
- **Salary:** £57,889.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract

## About the Role

You do not need to tick every box. If you meet most of these and this role excites you, we would genuinely like to hear from you.

 * Experience working in cyber security, with a strong grasp of core security principles and how to apply them in the real world
 * Experience supporting or participating in incident response
 * Demonstrable fluency in AI prompt and context engineering, applied to practical work
 * The ability to give clear, practical security guidance to technical and non-technical people alike
 * Familiarity with common security technologies - monitoring platforms, endpoint security, cloud controls, vulnerability tooling
 * Working knowledge of frameworks such as NIST CSF or ISO 27001

Even better if you have

 * Security certifications such as CISSP, CISM or GCIH - though experience counts just as much
 * Experience in regulated, enterprise-scale or manufacturing environments
 * Exposure to cloud platforms or security operations tooling at scale

## Description

This is the operational heart of cyber security at Croda. You will take security policy off the page and turn it into controls that actually work - in offices, in the cloud, and on manufacturing plant floors around the world. When something goes wrong, you will be at the centre of the response, coordinating people calmly and driving incidents to resolution. Day to day, you will run the operational rhythm of security: triaging alerts, prioritising vulnerabilities, advising projects, and making security feel like an enabler rather than a blocker.

You will report directly to our Chief Resilience and Security Officer, with genuine visibility of how security decisions are made at the top of a global business - rare exposure at this stage of a career.

What you will do

 * Make security real - turn Croda's security policies and standards into practical, proportionate controls that teams actually adopt
 * Respond when it matters - act as a core member of our incident response capability, coordinating or leading response across detection, triage, containment, eradication and recovery, then driving lessons learned
 * Run daily operations - investigate alerts, guide vulnerability remediation, keep on top of threat intelligence, and make sure real risks get acted on
 * Advise, not police - be the pragmatic, trusted security voice for IT, engineering and business teams - on projects, in change management, and in day-to-day decisions
 * Work smarter with AI - use AI as a genuine force multiplier - accelerating investigation, analysis, documentation and response so one person can achieve what used to take a team
