Liverpool, United Kingdom City & Guilds Full time

We are recruiting for a Senior Cyber Security Specialist here at City & Guilds. In this role you will lead and act as subject matter expert for computer and network threat intelligence, incident responses, investigations and vulnerability assessments that pertain to different types of cyber threats, including malware, data theft, denial of service, and data breaches.


You will collaborate with a new Managed Detection Response (MDR) provider and be responsible to lead the development and integration of that service to deliver maximum value to the business in reducing cyber risk, cost, and efficiency.


As SCSS, you will be a senior strategic lead, delivering cyber risk reduction by utilising a sound base of technical engineering skills and substantial business and project leadership experience through technology, business and third parties.


You will need to be based in the UK working on a hybrid basis with a mix of home and office – but you do need to be within commutable distance from one of our City & Guilds hub offices.


About the role


You will be responsible to define and chart a multi-year strategy of success and foster effective relationship with IT and the wider business to pinpoint the underlying issues and create effective corrective and preventive measures.


Our successful candidate will be self-driven in identifying opportunities, making recommendations and championing maturity initiatives to improve the posture and efficiency of the security operation. You must be comfortable and experienced in working and delivering successfully across the global environment and addressing complexities of obligations, regulations, legacy, and resistance to change.


The working hours are core Mon-Fri UK hours; however, the service is provided globally and there will be some need for out of hours response in the case of major incidents and threat priorities where vital. The design of the service based on the use of an external 24/7 hybrid MDR aims to reduce the need for this, and it will be within the gift of the individual to optimise these

arrangements.
