About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own security engineering platforms end to end, including the design, configuration, implementation, operation, maintenance, and continuous maturation of security tooling across the environment.
Provide technical oversight of enterprise security toolsets spanning endpoint, server, identity, email, network, cloud, and detection & response, including both Microsoft-native and third-party technologies (e.g. Mimecast, Tessian, Netskope, and cloud security platforms).
Define and execute the security tooling strategy, ensuring platforms are aligned to risk, business priorities, and long-term security architecture.
Ensure security platforms are delivering measurable security value, reducing loss exposure, and operating effectively, supported by appropriate people, processes, controls, and metrics.
Design, review, and approve security engineering patterns, standards, and reference architectures.
Oversee remediation of post-incident actions, audit findings, and control gaps related to security tooling and platform configuration.
Collaborate closely with the Head of Cloud and Product Security to develop and deliver security engineering roadmaps, including capability uplift and maturity improvements.
Provide expert input into security policies, standards, and best practices, ensuring they are technically sound and practically enforceable through tooling.
Ensure security standards and platform configurations are kept current, fit for purpose, and aligned with evolving threats and technology changes.
Review security vulnerabilities and tooling findings to ensure they are triaged, prioritized, and managed using a risk-based approach.
