Develop productive relationships with specialist external security partners and consultancies.

What We're Looking For

Approximately 12 to 15 years of relevant experience, including leadership of technical teams.
Substantial security-operations and incident-response expertise.
Experience designing and implementing monitoring or auditing frameworks.
Strong strategic judgement alongside the ability to engage with technical detail.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder-management skills.

Relevant Desirable Experience

Red teaming, penetration testing, detection engineering or security consulting would be valuable. This could suit an established security-operations leader ready to shape a global detection and response capability.
