We are seeking a Head of Security Engineering to lead the strategy, design and delivery of robust security capabilities across a complex technology environment. This is a senior leadership role responsible for building resilient, scalable and proportionate security controls that protect systems, applications, data and customers. You will establish clear engineering priorities, translate security risks into practical technical solutions, and work closely with technology, product, infrastructure, privacy and compliance teams to embed security throughout the development and operational lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include leading and developing a high-performing security engineering team; defining and maintaining the security engineering roadmap; overseeing cloud, application, infrastructure, identity and network security initiatives; and improving vulnerability management, threat detection, security monitoring and incident response capabilities. You will set engineering standards and architectural principles, champion secure-by-design practices, and ensure effective automation and tooling across the organisation. The role will also involve assessing emerging threats and technologies, supporting risk and audit activities, managing key suppliers, and communicating security posture, priorities and investment needs to senior stakeholders.

You will bring substantial experience in security engineering, architecture or an equivalent technical security discipline, together with a track record of leading teams and delivering security programmes in a fast-moving environment. Strong knowledge of cloud security, application security, infrastructure protection, identity and access management, DevSecOps and modern threat landscapes is essential. Experience operating in regulated or highly complex environments would be advantageous. You should be an effective communicator who can influence at all levels, balance risk with business objectives, and turn complex technical challenges into clear, actionable plans. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical expertise are welcome.
