Cyber Security Operations Manager

London based with regular travel to Bournemouth | Hybrid working (2 days in office / 3 from home)

We are supporting a global insurance business with the appointment of a Cyber Security Operations Manager into a highly visible leadership role.

The focus is on operational leadership, stakeholder management and acting as the face of the Cyber Security Operations function internally.

You’ll lead a team covering vulnerability management, EDR, incident response, phishing, monitoring and wider security operations activity, while partnering closely with senior stakeholders across the business and global technology teams.

The environment is fast paced and high pressure, so they are looking for someone already operating at this level who can bring structure, maturity and strong people leadership across a mixed-experience team.

A key part of the role is the consultative element, being able to translate technical security activity into clear business risk, operational metrics and meaningful updates for senior leadership.

There is also a broader transformation programme underway, including a move from AWS and on-prem into GCP, alongside exposure to global security operations across more than 40 countries.

Key experience required:

  • Proven Cyber Security Operations leadership experience
  • Strong people management capability
  • Experience operating within complex enterprise environments
  • Ability to manage senior stakeholders and communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences
  • Strong operational risk and incident management understanding
  • Experience driving operational maturity and continuous improvement

3-stage process:

  • Initial screening call
  • Formal interview
  • Psychometric and final stakeholder conversation

Please apply for further information or contact Hannah at Maru Search & Consultancy for a confidential discussion.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
