Job description

This is a senior technical security role for someone who enjoys working across cloud, infrastructure, applications and business change programmes.

You will act as a trusted security advisor to technology, engineering and business teams, influencing the design of secure solutions and helping shape the future direction of information security across the organisation.

This is not a purely governance or compliance-focused position. We’re looking for someone who can combine strong technical expertise with commercial awareness and stakeholder engagement. What you’ll do

  • Provide expert security consultancy across technology, engineering, architecture and business teams.
  • Support projects and programmes by identifying security risks and recommending practical solutions.
  • Review solution designs, technical architectures, cloud services and system integrations.
  • Drive the implementation and continual improvement of security controls across applications, infrastructure and cloud environments.
  • Assess vulnerabilities, review penetration testing results and support remediation activities.
  • Monitor emerging threats and security trends, helping the business respond proactively.
  • Contribute to the development and enhancement of security standards, policies and governance frameworks.
  • Support the ongoing maturity of our Information Security Management System (ISMS).
  • Lead security initiatives and improvement programmes.
  • Mentor colleagues and promote security best practice across the organisation.

Requirements

  • Significant experience in Information Security, Cyber Security Consulting, Security Architecture or a similar senior security role.
  • Strong knowledge of cloud security, particularly Azure and/or AWS environments.
  • Experience securing enterprise infrastructure, platforms and applications.
  • Strong understanding of recognised security frameworks including ISO 27001, NIST and CIS Controls.
  • Experience delivering security improvements, security transformation initiatives or complex security programmes.
  • Ability to balance security requirements with business objectives.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience influencing technical and non-technical audiences at all levels.

  • Experience within financial services or another regulated industry.
  • Security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent.
  • Experience supporting cloud transformation, infrastructure modernisation or large-scale technology change programmes.

Benefits & conditions

  • Work on complex security challenges across a growing financial services business.
  • Influence major technology and business transformation initiatives.
  • Collaborate with experienced technology, security and leadership teams.
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Hybrid working and flexible approach to office attendance.
  • Opportunities for professional development and industry certification support.
