An established private-sector organization is seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Manager to strengthen security across a substantial technology environment spanning customer-facing applications, cloud infrastructure and integrated business systems.

Your role

• Strengthen application, API and cloud security: review designs, identify weaknesses and work with engineers to implement effective controls.
• Build security into delivery: improve security practices within development and release workflows.
• Drive vulnerabilities through to resolution: prioritize risks, agree accountable owners and deadlines, and verify that fixes work.
• Lead incident response: guide investigation, containment and recovery, then ensure lessons translate into lasting improvements.
• Develop the security function: support and manage security staff, coordinate specialist providers and maintain a practical improvement roadmap.
• Connect security with business needs: explain risks clearly, recommend investments and balance protection with operational priorities.

We are particularly interested in candidates who can explain what they personally delivered, the decisions they owned and the results achieved.

Additional strengths

Experience protecting customer-facing digital services, preventing account takeover or automated abuse, applying ISO 27001, NIST CSF or PCI DSS, or delivering security automation would be valuable. Experience securing AI tools and integrations is also welcome.

Relevant certifications are advantageous.

You do not need to meet every item. Strong core capabilities, transferable experience and the ability to develop in one or two areas can make you a strong candidate. We welcome applicants from different industries.

Why consider this opportunity?

• Meaningful responsibility for security priorities and delivery.
• Close involvement in technical and engineering decisions.
