About the role

Are you a technical security expert who thrives at the intersection of strategy and hands-on execution? We are looking for a Cyber Security Manager to lead our operational technical security domain. You will be the go-to authority for infrastructure and cloud security, managing a focused team and partnering with the wider business to ensure our digital ecosystem remains resilient against emerging threats.

In this role, you won't just be monitoring dashboards; you will be shaping our security strategy, driving vulnerability management, and embedding a "security by design" culture across our product development life cycle.

This is a pivotal role where you will have direct influence over our security posture. You'll report directly to the Head of Information Security & Technology Risk, giving you a high-visibility platform to drive change.

Key responsibilities include: 

• Technical Leadership: Manage and mentor a small technical security team (currently 1 direct report), overseeing all technical aspects of security from Infrastructure to DevSecOps.
• Cloud & Infrastructure Custodian: Lead security initiatives across AWS, Google Workspace, Microsoft, and Salesforce. You will ensure our cloud environments and architecture meet the highest standards.
• Vulnerability Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for penetration testing, vulnerability and patch management. You'll coordinate with technical teams to ensure vulnerabilities are identified, negotiated, and remediated swiftly.
• Strategic Partnership: Work hand-in-hand with our Managed Service Provider (MSP) for 24/7 monitoring, incident response, and threat resolution.
• Risk & Evolution: Conduct cyber risk evaluations for all new technologies and service changes, ensuring security scales with our innovation.
• Tool Ownership: Act as the internal expert and administrator for our Varonis and Wiz security platforms.
• Product Security: Partner directly with a specific Product Area to provide expert advice during all stages of development.

About you:

• Expertise: Strong technical knowledge of AWS, Microsoft 365, Azure, and Salesforce (or a strong willingness to master the latter).
• Certifications: CISM, CISSP, or equivalent professional qualifications.
• Strategic Mindset: Proven experience in security strategy, incident management, and infrastructure security.
• Communication: The ability to translate complex technical risks into "plain English" for non-technical stakeholders. You are friendly, approachable, and a natural collaborator.
• Drive: You are a self-starter who can manage your own workload and lead a team with minimal supervision. We work hard and play hard.

• Practical experience with PCI DSS compliance.
• Background in Data Protection/Management.

• 30-minute screening call with members of the Security Team via MS Teams.
• 60-90 minute Competency-based and scenario-based interview via MS Teams
