## 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 understanding of core security principles and how to apply them in practice.
 * Experience supporting or participating in incident response, alongside familiarity with security technologies including monitoring platforms, endpoint security, cloud controls and vulnerability tooling.

 * A clear and pragmatic communicator who can provide practical security guidance to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

 * 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 support 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 to our Head of Cyber Services, as part of a cyber function being reshaped for the future, with real influence over how security is delivered across a global business., * 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
