IT & Security Operations Manager

IT & Security Operations Manager | Edinburgh City Centre (Hybrid – 3 or 4 days onsite)

Meraki Talent has partnered exclusively with an ambitious Scale Up who, after some recent investment, are looking to expand their operations in Edinburgh.

This business is on an exciting journey and as part of the next stage, they are looking for to hire an IT & Security Operations Manager and as they onboard larger clients, this role takes dedicated, single-threaded ownership of corporate IT, information security operations, and IT resilience.

This is a hands-on operations role, not a platform engineering role: the production platform, application services, infrastructure is owned by the engineering team. You own everything around it — the people, devices, identities, policies, evidence, and the security/compliance posture that lets them pass client due diligence and stand up to FCA scrutiny.

You will own and run the Information Security Management System day to day and drive ISO 27001, SOC2 and Cyber Essentials certification and surveillance audits.

Experience

• Experience running IT and Information Security operations in a regulated environment.
• Taken and organisation through ISO 27001 Certification – implementation, not just working within an existing ISMS.
• Experience achieving Cyber Essentials / CE Plus
• Strong identity and access management (SSO/IdP, MFA, access reviews).
• Practical backup and disaster-recovery experience, including running real restore tests.
• Endpoint/MDM and EDR experience across mixed OS estates, including Linux.
• Working knowledge of UK GDPR / DPA 2018 and the ability to produce audit evidence.

Please note: As they scale the business and build out their engineering function, they are looking for people to be onsite regularly to bring the team together and allowing the team to work effectively and efficiently (3 / 4 days per week)
