We re looking for a Cyber Security Delivery Lead to support a CISO-led security uplift programme following an internal security audit. Whilst not hands-on you will need a technical understanding for this delivery-focused contract role, combining technical security enablement with governance and programme delivery.

Reporting directly to the CISO, you will act as the execution lead across a number of priority cyber initiatives, translating audit findings and business requirements into practical, deliverable security improvements.

The Role:

You will manage parts of a cyber security programme alongside core security activity, including:
  • Microsoft onboarding to E5 (Defender, Identity, DLP, etc.)
  • Privileged Access Management (PAM) and least-privilege controls
  • Onboarding and operationalising security tooling
  • Integrating tooling and logs into a SOC capability
  • Delivering elements of a security governance programme (policies, controls, reporting)
This role blends technical delivery, stakeholder engagement, and governance, with responsibility for driving outcomes rather than just planning activity.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead delivery of priority cyber security workstreams
  • Own and coordinate Microsoft E5 security enablement
  • Implement and mature PAM controls and processes
  • Onboard, integrate, and tune security tools
  • Support SOC onboarding, use cases, and response processes
  • Develop and embed governance artefacts (policies, standards, controls)
  • Capture requirements across business units and translate them into a delivery roadmap
  • Track milestones, risks, dependencies, and outcomes
  • Provide clear reporting to the CISO and senior stakeholders

What We re Looking For:
  • Proven experience delivering cyber security programmes or transformations
  • Technical Understanding of:
- Microsoft security stack (Defender, Entra ID, Purview, etc.)
- Privileged Access Management / PIM
- SOC integration or MSSP onboarding
  • Experience working across technical and governance domains
  • Comfortable engaging senior stakeholders and business units
  • Strong delivery mindset - pragmatic, outcome-driven, and organised
  • Background in regulated or complex enterprise environments preferred
