• Experience aligning technical builds to recognised frameworks (NIST, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus).
• Hands-on experience with monitoring/logging/alerting and vulnerability management tools, including SIEM.
• Ability to define security configurations and drive consistent security adoption across estates.
• Experience producing security artefacts such as risk assessments, hardening standards, and runbooks.

Desirable

• Relevant degree; ITIL Foundation.
• Security and/or cloud-security certifications.
• Qualifications covering governance/compliance or networking/infrastructure fundamentals.
