United Kingdom Iceberg Cyber Security Full time

My client hires top academic performers and those who are able to problem solve and work in highly demanding and changing technology environments.

Are you an infrastructure-focused cybersecurity engineer with a deep understanding of both on-premises and cloud-based network security? We’re looking for an experienced professional to step into a hands-on, technically demanding role that builds out my client's first dedicated cybersecurity function. With this position, you’ll be critical in shaping and evolving cybersecurity practices, moving from high-impact operational tasks to strategic oversight.

Role Highlights:

  • Location: Mayfair, London (5 days onsite). Salary and total comp will beat expectations. Please ask me for more details.
  • Growth Opportunity: My client's ideal candidate is motivated to build and lead a cybersecurity team, with an opportunity to evolve into a team lead within 2–3 years. With a clear growth trajectory toward becoming their CISO.
  • Technical Scope: Responsible for managing EDR, MDR, network detection response, and AI-based predictive platforms. Cloud and data center security expertise is essential, along with familiarity with Microsoft Defender, Rapid7, eSentire, and ThousandEyes. The important part here is understanding how and why the tools are required and someone who understands networks and operating systems.

What You'll Do:

  • Hands-On Security & Automation: Manage alerts, perform upgrades, execute efficient patch management, and automate operational tasks as needed. An initial focus on hands-on operational work (approximately 70%) will shift over time as you introduce automation, bringing the operational focus to around 25% in two years.
  • Leadership in Cybersecurity Strategy: Lead monthly Cybersecurity Working Group meetings, collaborating with senior executives across compliance, legal, and IT. Establish efficient patching protocols, engage in risk management, and support the adoption of best practices.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Regularly report to and interact with C-suite executives, including the CEO and founder, ensuring transparency and collaboration on cybersecurity initiatives.

If you are excited about working in a demanding and highly rewarding global hedge fund, please apply and start a conversation with me today.

I must stress that my client only hires individuals from globally recognised top universities and that this role is a very senior technical leadership position and not suitable for junior engineers.
