Your responsibilities will include leading the development and maintenance of security tooling, monitoring and automation; improving vulnerability management, identity and access controls, endpoint protection, network security and cloud security practices; and supporting incident detection, investigation and response. You will assess new technologies, contribute to threat modelling and security reviews, and provide clear recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
