Job description

About Our Client

Our client is a major UAE-based industrial organisation investing significantly in digital, technology and cyber security capabilities. The business offers the scale and complexity to tackle meaningful security challenges across critical enterprise environments.

Job Description

• Own technical security compliance across complex enterprise platforms
• Drive automation, vulnerability remediation and verified security controls
• Own technical compliance verification across systems, cloud services, networks and endpoints, validating configurations directly against security baselines and hardening standards.
• Drive vulnerability and patch remediation, tracking issues against agreed timelines and verifying that fixes have genuinely resolved the underlying exposure.
• Automate compliance monitoring, expanding automated checks and identifying configuration drift before it becomes a recurring security issue.
• Strengthen policy and regulatory compliance, assessing technical exceptions, recommending compensating controls and maintaining high-quality evidence for audits and assessments.
• Partner with engineering and platform teams to embed compliance into configuration management, reducing reliance on repeated manual remediation

The Successful Applicant

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 4 years' experience within security compliance, systems administration or technical assurance, including hands-on configuration verification.
• Strong experience with enterprise vulnerability management, patch remediation and security hardening, including knowledge of CIS benchmarks.
• Practical technical knowledge spanning operating systems, cloud services, network devices and endpoints, with scripting or query capabilities to gather evidence at scale.
• Exposure to UAE Information Assurance Standards, ISO/IEC 27001 or comparable security frameworks; CISA, Security+, cloud or platform security certification would be advantageous.

What's on Offer

• Opportunity to play a key role in a large-scale Digital & AI security environment, with direct ownership of technical compliance outcomes.
• Hands-on remit spanning security engineering, automation, cloud and enterprise technology rather than purely documentation-led compliance.
• Opportunity to influence how security compliance is engineered and continuously verified across a complex enterprise technology landscape.
