Application Security Lead
We are seeking an experienced Application Security Lead to strengthen security across the software development lifecycle and help build secure, resilient digital products. In this role, you will define and implement application security strategies, standards and practices across development teams, while acting as a trusted advisor on secure design, coding and delivery. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, product and infrastructure colleagues to embed security by design and ensure that risks are identified and managed effectively.
Your responsibilities will include leading threat modelling, secure architecture reviews, code analysis, penetration testing and vulnerability management activities. You will establish practical security requirements, improve application security tooling and processes, and support teams in remediating vulnerabilities within agreed timeframes. You will also contribute to security incident investigations, maintain risk and compliance reporting, and provide clear guidance on emerging threats, regulatory expectations and industry best practice. A key part of the role will be promoting security awareness through coaching, technical workshops and knowledge-sharing across the engineering community.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in application security, software development or a closely related field, with a strong understanding of secure software development methodologies and common vulnerabilities such as those identified by OWASP. You will be comfortable working with cloud environments, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, source-code repositories and security testing tools. Relevant professional certifications are desirable, alongside experience leading security initiatives in complex technical environments. Strong communication, influencing and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to balance robust security controls with business and delivery objectives. This is an opportunity to shape application security practices, support talented technical teams and make a measurable impact on the security of critical services.
