The role

You’ll play a key role in protecting and enhancing our AWS cloud environment, ensuring security controls, configurations and services remain aligned with industry best practice, internal standards and PCI DSS requirements. Working closely with engineering, architecture and risk teams, you’ll identify and remediate security risks, strengthen cloud monitoring and threat detection capabilities, and help maintain a secure, compliant and resilient cloud platform. You’ll lead on cloud-focused vulnerability management, oversee secure identity and access controls, and support incident investigations. As a trusted cloud security specialist, you will champion secure-by-design principles, provide expert guidance to stakeholders, and maintain clear documentation and reporting to demonstrate compliance, highlight risks and drive continuous improvement across our cloud estate.

What will make you successful in the role?

You’ll have previous AWS experience and ideally have previously worked in a large regulated organisation. You’ll have a degree in information systems, computer science or the equivalent work experience and ideally possess AWS certification. You’ll have a good knowledge and understanding of information risk concepts and principles, as a means of relating business needs to security controls as well as a knowledge of common information security management frameworks, such as NIST, PCI, ISO27001, Mitre and ITIL frameworks. You’ll also have an understanding of security policies, processes, procedures and standards and how to embed these in existing business processes.
