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.

How to Write a Cyber Security Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Cyber security is now a board-level priority for organisations across the UK. From financial services and healthcare to critical infrastructure, SaaS platforms and the public sector, demand for skilled cyber security professionals continues to grow. Yet despite this demand, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Cyber security job adverts often generate large volumes of applications, but few are a genuine match. Meanwhile, experienced security engineers, analysts and architects quietly ignore adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from real security work. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent — it is the quality of the job advert. Cyber security professionals are trained to assess risk, spot weaknesses and question assumptions. A poorly written job ad signals organisational immaturity and weak security culture. A well-written one signals seriousness, competence and trust. This guide explains how to write a cyber security job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible security employer.

Maths for Cyber Security Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for cyber security jobs in the UK it can feel like “real security people” must be brilliant at maths. The reality is simpler: most roles do not need degree-level pure maths. What they do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up repeatedly in day-to-day work across SOC, incident response, cloud security, AppSec, threat detection, IAM & security engineering. This guide strips the maths down to what actually helps you get hired. It includes a 6-week learning plan plus portfolio projects you can publish to prove the skills. You will focus on: Number systems & bitwise thinking (binary, hex, bytes, XOR) Modular arithmetic basics (enough to understand how modern crypto “works”) Probability & statistics for detection, triage & risk Discrete maths for logic, sets, graphs & complexity Security maths habits: estimation, false positive control & evidence-led reporting You will not waste time on heavy theory that rarely appears in junior or mid-level cyber security roles.

Neurodiversity in Cyber Security Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Cyber security is all about thinking like an attacker, spotting unusual patterns, protecting systems & responding calmly when everything looks like it’s on fire. It’s a discipline built on curiosity, persistence & noticing things other people miss. That’s exactly why it can be such a good fit for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a security role. In reality, the traits that can make traditional office work tough often line up beautifully with cyber security work – from hyperfocus in incident response to meticulous analysis in threat hunting. This guide is written for cyber security job seekers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a cyber context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to different security roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cyber security – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
