We're looking for a Cyber Security Delivery Lead to support a CISO-led security uplift programme following an internal security audit. Whilst not hands-on you will need a technical understanding for this delivery-focused contract role, combining technical security enablement with governance and programme delivery.
Reporting directly to the CISO, you will act as the execution lead across a number of priority cyber initiatives, translating audit findings and business requirements into practical, deliverable security improvements.
The Role:
You will manage parts of a cyber security programme alongside core security activity, including:
- Microsoft onboarding to E5 (Defender, Identity, DLP, etc.)
- Privileged Access Management (PAM) and least-privilege controls
- Onboarding and operationalising security tooling
- Integrating tooling and logs into a SOC capability
- Delivering elements of a security governance programme (policies, controls, reporting)
This role blends technical delivery, stakeholder engagement, and governance, with responsibility for driving outcomes rather than just planning activity.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead delivery of priority cyber security workstreams
- Own and coordinate Microsoft E5 security enablement
- Implement and mature PAM controls and processes
- Onboard, integrate, and tune security tools
- Support SOC onboarding, use cases, and response processes
- Develop and embed governance artefacts (policies, standards, controls)
- Capture requirements across business units and translate them into a delivery roadmap
- Track milestones, risks, dependencies, and outcomes
- Provide clear reporting to the CISO and senior stakeholders
What We're Looking For:
- Proven experience delivering cyber security programmes or transformations
- Technical Understanding of:
- Microsoft security stack (Defender, Entra ID, Purview, etc.)
- Privileged Access Management / PIM
- SOC integration or MSSP onboarding
- Experience working across technical and governance domains
- Comfortable engaging senior stakeholders and business units
- Strong delivery mindset - pragmatic, outcome-driven, and organised
- Background in regulated or complex enterprise environments preferred
