Information Security Engineer Lead
We are seeking an Information Security Engineer Lead to guide the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of security technologies and engineering practices across a complex technology environment. This role will provide technical leadership while remaining hands-on, helping to protect systems, applications, networks, data, and cloud services against evolving threats. You will work closely with infrastructure, software development, architecture, risk, and compliance teams to embed security into projects and day-to-day operations.
Responsibilities will include leading the development and maintenance of security controls, monitoring solutions, vulnerability management processes, identity and access management capabilities, endpoint protection, and incident response tooling. You will assess emerging threats, investigate security events, recommend improvements, and support the resolution of complex vulnerabilities. The role will also contribute to security architecture reviews, threat modelling, technical risk assessments, policy development, audit activities, and the creation of clear documentation and operational procedures. You will mentor security engineers, promote effective standards, and help establish measurable improvements in security performance and resilience.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in information security engineering, with a strong understanding of security principles, threat detection, network and application security, cloud platforms, and secure systems administration. Experience with security monitoring and orchestration tools, vulnerability scanners, identity platforms, scripting or automation, and common frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, or CIS is highly desirable. You should be confident analysing complex technical issues, communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and influencing decisions at all levels. Strong leadership, problem-solving, organisational, and collaboration skills are essential, together with a proactive approach to continuous learning. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience would be advantageous.
