Senior Information Security Specialist
We are seeking a Senior Information Security Specialist to strengthen security operations, governance, and risk management across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will help protect critical systems, data, and services by identifying emerging threats, assessing vulnerabilities, and supporting the implementation of effective security controls. You will work closely with technology, compliance, infrastructure, and business teams to promote secure practices and ensure that security considerations are embedded throughout the organisation.
Your responsibilities will include leading security risk assessments, reviewing technical and procedural controls, monitoring security events, and coordinating the investigation and response to incidents. You will contribute to vulnerability management, security architecture reviews, identity and access management, data protection, and third-party risk assessments. The role will also involve maintaining security policies and standards, supporting audit and regulatory requirements, preparing clear risk reports for stakeholders, and helping to develop security awareness and training initiatives. You may also be expected to guide the delivery of security improvement programmes and mentor less experienced colleagues.
We are looking for a security professional with substantial experience in information security, cybersecurity, risk, or a related discipline. You should have a strong understanding of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or equivalent, together with practical knowledge of cloud security, network security, endpoint protection, incident response, and vulnerability management. Experience working with security monitoring tools, governance platforms, and risk registers is desirable. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor, would be advantageous. Excellent communication, analytical, and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to explain complex security issues clearly and influence positive outcomes at all levels.
