Position Overview
We're building a security function to match that ambition. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who wants to own security across a complex, fast-moving global organisation and grow into leading it.
This role has a clear growth path as the function matures. You'll have direct access to platform and AI decisions from day one — security embedded in how we build, not added at the end.
You'll report directly to the Head of IT, Data & AI. Independent by design. Security only works when it can speak freely.
What this is not:
- Not a governance role or a compliance checkbox exercise
- Not a CISO presenting slide decks to the board
- Not someone who raises tickets and waits for others to fix them
Who you are:
Probably 3–6 years in security or cloud security engineering. Technically sharp. Opinionated about what good looks like. You want to build something — not inherit a mature program. You can have a direct conversation with an engineer about a configuration decision without creating an enemy. You move fast and document what you do.
