About the role

Senior Cyber Security Operations Lead

6-Month Contract | Fully Remote | European Time Zone | Inside IR35

We're supporting a global organisation seeking an experienced Cyber Security professional to join a lean and highly collaborative security team during a period of significant operational growth.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving problems, leading technical activities, and operating across multiple areas of cybersecurity. The successful candidate will play a key role in managing security incidents, supporting operational security activities, and driving security improvements across a complex technology environment.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys remaining close to the technology while taking ownership of critical security activities and helping coordinate teams across different regions.

What You'll Be Doing

Leading the operational response to security incidents and major security events.
Coordinating investigations, remediation activities, and post-incident reviews.
Supporting day-to-day security operations and ensuring operational priorities are delivered effectively.
Managing security-related requests and helping maintain a strong security posture across the organisation.
Driving improvements to security monitoring, detection, response, and operational processes.
Supporting vulnerability management and remediation initiatives.
Contributing to security tooling implementations, upgrades, and optimisation projects.
Working closely with infrastructure, engineering, support, and business teams to deliver security outcomes.
Acting as a senior technical point of contact during operational security activities.

We're interested in security professionals who have developed broad cybersecurity experience rather than specialising in a single security discipline.

You may currently be working as a:

Security Operations Lead
Senior Security Engineer
Cyber Security Specialist
Security Consultant
Security Analyst Lead
Infrastructure or Platform Engineer who has transitioned into cybersecurity

Successful candidates will typically have experience across several of the following areas:

Incident Response
Security Operations
Vulnerability Management
Security Engineering
Security Tooling & Platforms
Security Project Delivery
Risk & Security Governance
Stakeholder Engagement

Required Experience

Minimum 5 years of relevant cybersecurity experience.
Proven experience leading or coordinating security incident response activities.
Hands-on experience with technologies such as SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management platforms, DLP solutions, IAM technologies, or related security tooling.
Strong understanding of network, endpoint, and cloud security concepts.
Experience working in operational security environments.
Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.

Desirable Experience

Experience implementing or upgrading security technologies.
Previous background in infrastructure, networking, systems engineering, or platform engineering.
Exposure to compliance or security governance frameworks.
Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GCIH, GCIA, Security+, or similar.

Personal Attributes

Pragmatic and solutions-focused.
Comfortable taking ownership and making decisions.
Strong communicator with excellent stakeholder management skills.
Collaborative and able to influence without direct authority.
Able to remain calm and effective during security incidents and operational challenges.
