## Job Description

An exciting newly created role for a Security Operations Lead, joining a specialist software company at a pivotal stage of growth.

This is a hands-on leadership role at the heart of Platform Engineering. You'll run the security working group, own the vulnerability management lifecycle, and embed security across development, platform, and product. Making it a shared responsibility, not a siloed function.

You'll need sharp technical instincts, sound judgement, and the ability to make complex risk legible to an executive audience.

**What You'll Do:**

**Security Leadership**

- Lead the security working group, setting priorities and driving resolution
- Translate threat intelligence into actionable engineering tasks and deliver monthly risk summaries to the ELT

**Vulnerability & Incident Management**

- Own the full vulnerability lifecycle: discovery, triage, remediation, and reporting
- Coordinate incident response and set risk-based remediation timelines

**Security Tooling**

- Own and evolve the security tool stack (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets management) and integrate it into CI/CD pipelines
- Drive adoption of dependency scanning, artifact verification, and SBOM tooling, ensuring tools produce signal, not noise

**Experience:**

- Strong application and infrastructure security background in cloud-native environments, with hands-on experience across CI/CD, containerisation, and infrastructure-as-code
- Deep understanding of common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10 and beyond) and practical experience with SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets scanning tooling
- Proven end-to-end vulnerability management and incident response experience, including supply chain risk mitigation
- The ability to assess risk and make clear prioritisation calls, even with imperfect information
- A track record of leading cross-team security initiatives without direct authority, aligning stakeholders with competing priorities
- Experience improving security culture across engineering teams with diverse tech stacks
- Strong communicator, able to move between engineering detail and board-level risk narrative with ease
- Familiarity with ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials+, or similar frameworks is a bonus

**Benefits:**

- Private healthcare
- Life assurance & income protection
- Enhanced maternity
- Electric vehicle & cycle to work salary sacrifice
- Pension with NI savings & matched share scheme
- Flexible working & employee discounts
