The role
This is a hands-on security operations role. You will be the primary practitioner resource within a small, specialist Cyber Security team of three, including the VP, responsible for day-to-day security monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response, and internal audit activity that keeps our security posture credible and improving. Hands-on delivery is the core expectation; this is not a governance or oversight position.
You will work closely with an external SOC and MDR provider, acting as the internal security practitioner against their outputs. The role also requires genuine compliance capability, you will contribute to internal audit and risk assessment cycles and support ISO 27001 compliance activity. You will provide ad-hoc expert input to the IT function where security judgement is needed, but this is not an IT role.
ONYX is a critical infrastructure business manufacturing IIoT devices for wind turbine monitoring. We operate globally, with customers and regulatory obligations spanning the EU, UK, US, Australia, Canada, India, and South Korea. Our Cyber Security function is small, expert, and operationally engaged, this role sits at the centre of that.
