- Proven experience in IT security engineering or technical security assurance, operating across enterprise infrastructure.
- Strong knowledge of endpoint protection (SentinelOne preferred), with the ability to assess configuration quality and control effectiveness rather than just operate tooling.
- Experience reviewing and assuring enterprise firewall configurations and network security controls (e.g. Palo Alto, Cisco).
- A solid understanding of encryption, certificates, and trust models used within enterprise IT systems.
- Experience assessing security patching effectiveness and remediation outcomes across Windows and Linux platforms.
- Significant experience working with Windows and Linux environments, including legacy platforms.
- Experience conducting or reviewing vulnerability assessments using tools such as Nessus, with the ability to interpret results in context.
- Ability to analyse logs and technical evidence to identify security issues and validate root cause.
- Strong technical communication and documentation skills, able to explain risk and findings clearly to experienced engineers and non-specialists.
- Understanding of OT / ICS security principles and legacy constraints is desirable.
- Experience with SIEM tools, network monitoring, or threat intelligence platforms is beneficial.
- Knowledge of NIST, Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), Cyber Essentials(+) or ISO 27001 is advantageous.
Responsibilities
- Provide expert technical security assurance across enterprise IT platforms, identifying control gaps, design weaknesses, and hidden risks that may be missed during operational delivery.
- Assess the security impact of technical designs, changes, and exceptions, providing independent challenge and clear, evidence-based recommendations.
- Support security incident response by validating technical impact, root cause, and remediation effectiveness, working alongside operational teams rather than always owning execution.
- Conduct and review vulnerability and control assessments, validating remediation outcomes and escalating unresolved or systemic risks where appropriate.
- Act as a trusted technical advisor to infrastructure, network, endpoint, and cloud teams, balancing security requirements with operational realities.
- Review and advise on firewall rules, network segmentation, and access controls, ensuring alignment with security standards and risk tolerance.
- Educate and influence IT colleagues by raising security awareness through practical, technically grounded guidance, not just policy enforcement.
- Operate autonomously, using professional judgement and experience to assess risk, document findings, and escalate where controls fall short.
