Company

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:

Responsibilities:

  • Firewalls, threat monitoring, and endpoint protection using CrowdStrike, and security solutions around MDM.
  • 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.

The Skills Gap in Cyber Security Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cyber security has become one of the most critical disciplines in the modern economy. From protecting financial systems and healthcare data to securing national infrastructure, cloud platforms and supply chains, cyber security professionals now sit at the frontline of digital trust. Demand for cyber security talent in the UK has surged. Job vacancies remain high, salaries continue to rise, and organisations across every sector report difficulty hiring skilled professionals. Yet despite this demand, many graduates struggle to break into cyber security roles and employers consistently report that candidates are not job-ready. The problem is not intelligence, ambition or academic effort. It is a persistent and widening skills gap between university education and real-world cyber security work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cyber security.
