Job description

Pre-Sales Security Specialist (Managed SIEM)

Pocklington (hybrid) | Up to £40,000 base + £10,000 OT | Cyber Security / Managed Services

Help shape the way we sell security - from day one!

We're a fast-growing UK technology and managed services provider that's doubled in size over the last five years - and we're just getting started. We deliver managed security services, including our own in-house SOC and managed SIEM offering, to public sector and corporate customers across the UK. As we expand our portfolio and our team, we're looking for a pre-sales specialist to help our salespeople win.

The role

This is an overlay pre-sales role supporting our account managers and sales executives across managed security - with our managed SIEM solution, delivered through our own SOC, at the heart of it (and new services on the way). You'll be the technical-commercial bridge that helps turn interest into signed business, working across deals that range from smaller entry-level services right up to multi-year, six-figure tenders.

It's a team-target role, not an individual number to carry alone - you'll be part of a growing function with genuine backing to succeed. This is a new role created through growth, not a backfill.

What you'll bring

• A pre-sales or inside sales background, ideally with exposure to cyber security - or a technical account management profile looking to move into pre-sales
• Genuine curiosity about cyber security; you don't need to be deeply technical, but you should be keen to learn and build your own product knowledge
• Bonus points if you've sold a managed SIEM or Sentinel-based service before, or come from a competitor in this space
• Azure or wider Microsoft stack familiarity is a strong plus
• An outgoing, relationship-building personality - comfortable carrying a team target and confident contributing to tender responses
• A proactive mindset: someone who gives feedback, shares ideas, and wants to influence how things are done rather than wait to be told
• Eligibility for SC clearance

Why join us?

• Direct access to our SOC team - learn the latest cyber trends first-hand and build all the technical knowledge you need to grow into the role
• A genuine open-door culture - speak to anyone in the business, from any level, and be heard
• A real say in strategy from day one - we're forward-thinking and we value ideas. This isn't a 'that's how it's always been done' kind of place; if you've got a better way, we want to hear it

Location

Our office is in Pocklington, and we're flexible on how often you're in - ideally one to two days a week, but we're open to as little as one week a month for the right person.

If you're a relationship-builder who wants to grow your cyber career in a business that actually listens, we'd love to talk or get in touch for a confidential chat.
