We're engaged by a business that has grown significantly in recent years. As part of this growth, they are building their Cyber Security team. The role requires someone who is proactive and inquisitive, eager to improve the company's security posture.

You need to be a self-starter, someone who doesn't wait to be told what to do. If you're ambitious and willing to learn, you will receive comprehensive training and development.

• CrowdStrike
• KnowBe4

Your responsibilities will include triaging SOC alerts and incidents, working with third parties, managing vulnerabilities using Defender, and preparing reports for executives, such as phishing reports and simulations. You will also coordinate penetration tests and conduct cyber workshops.

This is a well-rounded role within a company that genuinely cares and has a meaningful purpose.
