Security Engineering Lead
We are seeking an experienced Security Engineering Lead to shape and deliver a robust security engineering capability across a complex technology environment. You will provide technical leadership across cloud, infrastructure, applications and operational security, ensuring that security is embedded throughout the design, development and deployment lifecycle. This is an influential role requiring a balance of strategic thinking, hands-on technical expertise and the ability to build strong relationships with engineering, architecture, operations and risk teams.
You will lead the development and implementation of security engineering standards, patterns and controls, while identifying opportunities to improve resilience, threat detection and secure-by-design practices. Responsibilities will include setting technical direction, reviewing architectures, supporting security tooling and automation, and overseeing the resolution of vulnerabilities and control gaps. You will contribute to threat modelling, incident readiness, security testing and risk assessments, ensuring that findings are prioritised and addressed effectively. You will also establish meaningful metrics and reporting to demonstrate security performance and guide continuous improvement.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security engineering, with a strong understanding of modern cloud platforms, identity and access management, network security, application security, vulnerability management and security operations. Experience leading technical teams or cross-functional initiatives is essential, together with the ability to communicate complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. You should be comfortable working in an evolving environment, making sound decisions under pressure and influencing without relying solely on formal authority. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience would be advantageous. A collaborative, pragmatic approach and a commitment to developing people and improving security maturity are key to success in this position.
