This goliath of a manufacturing business, which has grown significantly in the UK market, is now expanding its in-house IT function following significant investment. You will join a thriving business that has embraced a culture of flexible working, where you will have outstanding progression opportunities in an environment that delegates responsibility and allows its IT team to truly develop.

As the IT Information Security Manager, you will act as the senior point of contact for security issues within the business, reporting directly to the Head of IT. The role will be technically focused, and you will work closely with the Infrastructure Manager, covering areas such as:

  • This technical work will encompass areas such as the security impact on PC/laptop/mobile phone builds, password policies, and VLANs.
  • Manage the day-to-day workload, work with other teams to improve the current stance of the business, and work with suppliers to get tools working.
  • Maintain the Information Security risk register, whilst also carrying out DPIAs and security design assessments.
  • As a senior leader within the organisation's IT function, you will have the ability to put together reports for the board on threats and vulnerabilities.
  • People management will be an element of the role, as you will directly line manage 1 x Security Analyst.

While the business promotes a hybrid working culture, given the nature of this role, you will ideally be flexible with occasional travel to relevant company sites where required.

Experience & Skills

Have a strong IT Security background with an infrastructure foundation, ideally with 3-5 years in a technical role covering IT Security responsibilities.

  • Really understand the concepts of firewalls, and the underlying core infrastructure of an IT estate, and how network security is integral to a business.
  • Have a solid level of experience with endpoint security systems, such as CrowdStrike, from an NDR, threat monitoring, and vulnerability perspective.
  • Endpoint security exposure across the mobile device space, such as working with MobileIron or similar vendors.
  • Management of 3rd party vendors.
  • Possess an in-depth understanding of Information Security frameworks, such as ISO27001.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills and understand how to translate complex security terminologies and ideas into layman's terms for senior stakeholders.

Why Cyber Security Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Cyber security used to be viewed primarily as a technical discipline: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, penetration testing. In the UK today, it’s far broader. Organisations now face complex legal frameworks, ethical dilemmas, human-behaviour risks, communication challenges & usability hurdles. This shift means cyber security careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. From protecting NHS patient records to defending financial services, securing supply chains & safeguarding national infrastructure, cyber security now touches every sector. Employers increasingly want professionals who understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside traditional technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why UK cyber security careers are expanding in this way, how these five disciplines shape the profession, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this new landscape.
