  • Provide architecture reviews for all new systems and major changes to existing ones
  • Support the redevelopment and testing of the organisation's Security Incident Response Plan (across both IT and OT)
  • Input into a 5-year rolling Enterprise Security Strategy, adapting to threat and technology changes
  • Deliver regular KPI reporting aligned to enterprise goals
  • Work closely with the Enterprise Architecture and Cyber Security teams to align processes and frameworks
  • Provide security consultancy across a range of projects and lead on specific Cyber IT/OT initiatives

Benefits:

  • Flexible working options (remote/hybrid)
  • Discretionary annual bonus of up to 15%
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Aviva pension scheme: 5% employee / 10% employer contributions
  • 14x salary life insurance
  • "Choices" flexible benefits scheme including dental, health cash plans, and gym discounts
  • Financial wellbeing programme
  • Enhanced parental leave
  • Retail discount and cashback schemes
  • Annual pay reviews
  • Company sick pay

Why You Should Apply

This is a strategic and hands-on role with the scope to influence security direction across the business. You'll join a collaborative, expert-led team where you can apply your knowledge, shape long-term outcomes, and take ownership of key security projects across both IT and OT landscapes.
