Maintain technical policies and standards for the secure use of AI tools across the organisation.
What we’re looking for6+ years of hands-on experience securing AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, including Azure Policy, IAM, Infrastructure-as-code (IAC) security or other cloud native tooling.
Experience with security tools:
Microsoft Sentinel, Sentinel One, Net Skope, Flashpoint, Wiz or similar tooling.
Strong Microsoft Sentinel expertise: KQL, detection rules, workbooks, and logging pipelines.
Working knowledge of DLP and threat intelligence monitoring.
Experience applying AI/ML to security workflows - automated triage, behavioural analytics, or LLM-assisted investigation.
Understanding of AI security risks and frameworks: OWASP LLM Top 10, NIST AI RMF.Scripting proficiency in Python, Power Shell, or Bash for security automation.
