Application Security Leader

Reference: arpvm9ktx3bfpoqx959h

We are seeking an experienced Application Security Leader to define and advance a comprehensive security strategy across the software development lifecycle. In this influential role, you will lead application security initiatives, establish secure development practices, and partner with engineering, product, infrastructure, and risk teams to embed security into the design, development, testing, and deployment of digital products. You will provide clear guidance on security risks, support informed decision-making, and help build a culture in which secure engineering is a shared responsibility.

Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining application security policies, standards, and roadmaps; overseeing threat modelling, secure architecture reviews, code analysis, penetration testing, vulnerability management, and remediation activities; and defining appropriate security controls for applications, APIs, cloud services, and third-party integrations. You will lead the assessment of security findings, prioritise remediation according to business risk, and report meaningful metrics and trends to senior stakeholders. The role will also involve coordinating incident response for application-related vulnerabilities, supporting investigations, and ensuring lessons learned are incorporated into future development practices.

Applicants should bring substantial experience in application security, software engineering, security architecture, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern development methodologies and cloud environments. You will be confident working with technologies such as CI/CD pipelines, source-code management, containerisation, APIs, and automated security testing tools. Relevant professional certifications are advantageous. We are looking for an influential and collaborative leader who can communicate complex technical issues clearly, engage effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences, and balance robust security controls with delivery objectives. Experience building or mentoring security teams, influencing secure-by-design programmes, and working within a regulated or complex technology environment would be highly valued.
