• Turn intelligence into action – Analyse threat data and deliver clear, business‑relevant insights.
• Streamline and strengthen – Improve runbooks and build automation to enhance our Security Operations capabilities.
• Be a trusted advisor – Communicate vulnerability and threat insights clearly across the organisation.
• Measure success – Produce metrics that support and advance our Trust and Security initiatives.
• Stay ahead – Continuously learn and evolve our security program to meet emerging threats.
• Collaborate widely – Partner across teams to embed security into every part of the business.

• Significant experience in a security‑specific operations or engineering role.
• Experience in the Microsoft security suite of tools including Defender, Entra, Compliance Center, and Intune.
• Knowledge of industry standard DLP tools such as Microsoft Purview (ideal).
• Understanding of Terraform or other cloud deployment technologies.

  Vulnerability assessment and management, identity management, or threat intelligence activities.
• At least two years of experience in L2 or higher incident response, forensic analysis, remediation, and risk‑based prioritisation efforts including technical remediation in corporate enterprise environments.
• Operational experience in securing public cloud deployments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP either directly or through use of CSPM tooling is beneficial.
• Experience using a major SIEM product, including the ability to construct ad‑hoc searches and perform analysis in related tools.
• Understanding of security best practices and frameworks.
• Excellent verbal and written communication, interpersonal, and collaboration skills will be a requirement.
