Responsibilities

You will play a key role in strengthening the security posture of managed cloud environments, combining vulnerability management, compliance support, customer reporting and continuous improvement.

• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive tasks, improve reporting and build more sustainable ways of working.
• Act as a confident security voice within the team, advocating for good practices and practical risk reduction.

Qualifications

• Experience in cloud security, infrastructure security, security operations, vulnerability management or a similar technical security role.
• Practical experience with cloud environments; AWS experience is preferred, while strong experience with other cloud platforms is also welcome.
• Good understanding of vulnerability management, patching concepts, infrastructure hardening and remediation follow-up.
• Exposure to Rapid7 or comparable tools such as Tenable, Qualys, Nessus, Microsoft Defender for Cloud or similar platforms.
• Ability to work independently, manage priorities and follow issues through to resolution.
• Clear communication skills, with the confidence to explain risks, ask the right questions and influence good security practices.
• Interest in automation, process improvement and the smart use of tools or AI to reduce manual effort.
• Previous experience with audits, customer security reporting or compliance evidence gathering would be an advantage.
