An exceptional opportunity has arisen within a major financial and mobility services enterprise for a technical champion to take ownership of enterprise-scale infrastructure operations. This position bridges the gap between traditional network engineering and modern cyber defense.

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative operational tech group where you will be expected to dive deep into complex environments, driving delivery across both day-to-day operations and massive, multi-year business transformations. If you are looking to actively transition your deep networking expertise into a dedicated cybersecurity pathway within a highly structured environment, this is your next step.

• End-to-End Execution:
  Drive both business-as-usual (BAU) operational resilience and major project deliverables independently, providing subject matter expertise across the entire environment.
• Major Digital Transformation:
  Play an active role in a massive 2-to-3-year modernization project to replace core transactional and contract systems, building out the foundational infrastructure and defense frameworks to match.
• International Technical
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Partner closely with overseas shared service centres and regional security centres of excellence to roll out and integrate cutting‑edge security technologies on a regular basis.
• Stakeholder Interfacing:
  Confidently articulate, explain, and justify complex engineering solutions to technical peers and non-technical business leaders alike.

• Network Foundations: A minimum of 5 years of professional, hands‑on experience designing, maintaining, and protecting large‑scale enterprise environments.
• Ecosystem Expertise:
  Practical, deep technical familiarity with the Palo Alto product line and next‑generation firewalls is absolutely mandatory.
• Clearance & Eligibility:
  Due to upcoming public sector and government contract support commitments, candidates must hold a UK passport or dual nationality and have achieved a minimum of 5 years of continuous, uninterrupted UK residency to successfully obtain Security Clearance (SC). Any recent travel to politically sensitive regions must be fully declared.
• Documentation
  
  Skills:
  
  A meticulous eye for detail, with a proven track record of producing accurate, robust technical documentation.

We are looking for an operational doer, not a high‑level consultant. The successful candidate will be someone who loves to look under the hood of a technology stack and become the definitive expert on it.

A Note on Backgrounds:
This role perfectly suits an engineer moving from traditional heavy routing/switching environments into dedicated security operations. Candidates coming from a pure consultancy background without recent hands‑on engineering accountability will not be suitable.

While you will operate within a closely-knit regional team, you will enjoy the stability, structured career progression, and substantial training budgets of a globally recognized brand.
