Senior Application Security Manager
We are seeking a Senior Application Security Manager to lead the development and delivery of a robust application security programme across the software development lifecycle. In this role, you will define security strategy, establish effective governance, and work closely with engineering, architecture, product, infrastructure, and risk teams to embed secure-by-design principles into applications and services. You will provide technical leadership, promote a strong security culture, and ensure that application security practices support business objectives without unnecessarily slowing delivery.
Key responsibilities will include managing and mentoring application security specialists; developing policies, standards, and secure coding guidelines; overseeing threat modelling, secure design reviews, code analysis, penetration testing, and vulnerability management; and ensuring security findings are appropriately prioritised, remediated, and reported. You will help implement and improve security tooling, establish meaningful metrics, and contribute to incident response where application vulnerabilities are involved. The role will also involve reviewing emerging technologies, advising on cloud-native development and APIs, supporting risk assessments, and communicating security risks and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in application security, product security, software engineering, or a closely related discipline, including experience leading programmes or teams in a complex technology environment. You should have strong knowledge of secure software development methodologies, common application vulnerabilities, threat modelling frameworks, identity and access management, encryption, API security, and cloud security principles. Experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD security integration, SAST, DAST, SCA, container security, and security testing tools is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical expertise are welcome. Excellent communication, influencing, prioritisation, and people leadership skills are essential, along with the ability to make pragmatic decisions in a fast-moving environment.
