Senior Security Specialist

Why You’d Like It If you thrive on being hands‑on with cutting‑edge tech rather than sitting back in a high‑level policy bubble, this is the role you’ve been waiting for. You will join a supportive, highly skilled team right at the start of a massive security transformation. It's a sweet spot where you get to work across modern cloud environments, roll up your sleeves with DevSecOps, and act as a key security advisor to the business. The Story The organisation is entering an exciting period of growth and strategic evolution. To support this momentum and enable fast-paced delivery, the security function is expanding its capability. Our client is looking for a grounded, confident specialist who can step in to uplift operational security, help build out the roadmap (including working towards SOC2 certification), and ensure security is seamlessly baked into everyday engineering. Company Profile This is a thriving, modern technology business delivering clever digital solutions on a global scale. Known for an inclusive, progressive, and supportive culture, they prioritise collaboration over silo'd working. They give their teams the autonomy to innovate, tackle complex technical challenges, and directly influence how the business protects its assets worldwide. Your Role You’ll be the bridge between technical execution and business strategy, working alongside cross-functional teams to integrate security into every step of the development lifecycle. Embed DevSecOps practices and maintain automation tools across the software pipeline. Lead operational security management, threat intelligence, and incident response efforts. Conduct business-focused risk assessments and practical code/infrastructure reviews. Partner with engineering teams to guide secure design, particularly across Azure cloud environments. Run security awareness campaigns and act as a trusted advisor across the company. Benefits Competitive base salary plus a 10% performance-based short-term incentive (STI). Genuine flexible and hybrid working options to support your work-life balance. Vibrant, inclusive team culture with clear avenues for career development. Direct access to global security initiatives and modern, leading-edge tooling. Your Fit You are a hands-on security professional who loves getting into the weeds of tech just as much as chatting with people. An extroverted communicator, you build strong relationships easily and have the confidence to push back or challenge stakeholders constructively when security is on the line. You bring a solid understanding of global threat landscapes, deep practical experience with cloud security (especially Azure), and a genuine passion for DevSecOps. #J-18808-Ljbffr
