Job description

About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Cyber Security Manager to lead our Cyber Security function and help protect the people, technology, information and services that sit at the heart of allpay.

You’ll lead our Cyber Security team and oversee our security operations, from threat monitoring and incident response through to vulnerability management, cyber risk and governance. You’ll also play an important role in shaping our cyber security strategy and roadmap, working across IT, Development, Architecture, Risk and Compliance to continually strengthen our security and resilience.

This is a great opportunity to combine hands‑on cyber security leadership with genuine strategic influence, helping us stay ahead of emerging threats while supporting a secure, resilient and growing business.

Here at allpay, we follow an Office First working model, reflecting the importance we place on in‑person collaboration across our teams, most of whom are based on‑site. While we are open to discussing flexible working arrangements, a strong on‑site presence will be essential to support and guide the team.

About You

You’ll be an experienced cyber security professional who combines strong technical knowledge with confident, pragmatic leadership.

We’re looking for someone who can bring:

• Strong experience across cyber security operations, threat management, incident response and vulnerability management.
• A good understanding of cyber risk, governance and recognised standards such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus.
• Experience of leading and developing a cyber security team, alongside managing specialist security partners and suppliers.
• The ability to translate complex technical risks into clear priorities for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A calm, collaborative and commercially minded approach, particularly when responding to incidents and balancing security with wider business priorities.

If you’re passionate about cyber security and want the opportunity to lead, influence and continually improve security within an established payments organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

People are at the heart of allpay, and we’re proud to offer a competitive benefits package. This includes a defined‑contribution group pension scheme, income protection, life assurance, a wide range of health and wellbeing options (including private healthcare), and an excellent Learning and Development offering.
