SecOps Lead

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

Role: Security Operations Lead

Location: Nottingham City Centre Office with a flexible hybrid working model of around once per week or two in the office.

Salary: Up to £75k plus benefits

You are practical; you love being hands-on technically and creating cool solutions that help people.

You might be described as a little paranoid! This is only because are always thinking about how secure your technical estate is and what can be done to improve it.

You are great with people; you have a natural affinity for leadership, knowing how to get the best out of people, managing external teams, and liaising with ease around other departments to share knowledge, and respectfully debate proposed technical solutions with great outcomes.

If the above seems to describe you, then read on, this could be the one!

I am working with a brilliant Nottingham-based company that is large but feels small and tight-knit. I’m looking for a SecOps Lead for them and I’m hoping that’s you.

In a nutshell, what I’m after is someone happy being hands-on, who started in Infrastructure, going on work in Security, ideally in a DevSecOps capacity/ environment, with Azure Cloud and DevOps experience with tooling such as Terraform, AKS, ansible, etc. and with leadership experience, ideally including managing an offshore team.

This role will see you working in a hands-on capacity, liaising heavily with the information security, compliance, and development teams to help you design, deliver, and own excellent technical solutions, including building out tooling, that adheres to best practices set out by the information security and compliance teams- across their infrastructure and application platforms which span on-premises and the Azure cloud.

You will make sure that their platforms are secure and create a roadmap for their DevSecOps strategy that will ensure good growth and scalability for their platforms. You will be expected to keep up with current technological trends to be able to advise on new products, services, and other technologies, and implement them into the roadmap, so it’s always up-to-date and fit for purpose.

Taking the lead on cyber security incidents, you’ll ensure that monitoring and alerting capabilities across their infrastructure and application estate are well-set up to identify and remediate any potentially harmful or suspicious behaviour. Further, you’ll hold regular workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions on cyber security best practices to disseminate this knowledge throughout the company to encourage prevention and awareness – prevention is always better than cure!

Your leadership experience will stand you in good stead here- you will be leading one person directly under your charge, and an external SOC (Security Operations Centre), initially. You will then build out a team around you further down the line.

If this sounds right up your street, get in touch today or drop me a line to find out more about it!

We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.

Does working for a sustainable company float your boat? Being able to know that you are working for a company that is making a difference and cares, also feeds through the way that they treat their staff. Sound interesting? Carry on reading….

An interest in IT is a great start with this role, whilst it’s not a hands-on role with regards to networking etc, an idea of IT support will be a bonus as this role is IT-centric.

You will take full responsibility for a junior member of staff who gets involved with the basics such as installing software, setting up new accounts and troubleshooting. The rest is all outsourced, and this is where a big part of your role will come in. You will be involved with liaising with third parties with regard to the work that is done., and they will support you with regard to the IT infrastructure and security.

You will have an interest in Cyber security as you will oversee the company’s risk register and take active responsibility for reducing cyber risks for the shared platforms servers etc. As well as this you will be responsible for the disaster recovery plans and administration of cyber security.

You will also be the lead on the implementation of any new software/ systems that are required through the business. Producing policies and taking responsibility for the global offices’ IT expenditure and preparation of annual budgets also fall with you.
