We're looking for a hands-on, ambitious infrastructure/security leader to take steer of a growing team and help drive a major group-wide transformation.

You'll join a multi-industry business operating across transport, manufacturing, technology, and engineering, working at a group level to consolidate infrastructure and security across multiple companies into one cohesive environment.

• Partnering with stakeholders across multiple business units to understand systems and improve visibility
• Driving improvements in security tooling, processes, and response
• Vulnerability management tools (eg Rapid7, Microsoft Defender suite)
• Core enterprise security toolsets
• Networking, cloud infrastructure, and EUC environments

You'll have:

• Experience as a team lead or manager (formal or informal) with direct reports or leadership responsibility
• Strong grounding in infrastructure and security - ideally having moved from networking/cloud into security
• Hands-on experience with vulnerability management tools and security platforms

Why join?
