Senior Security Engineer

Cyber security at Change Grow Live is about more than protecting systems.

 

It protects the digital services thousands of colleagues rely on to support people across the UK.

We’re looking for a Senior Security Engineer to join our Cloud, Infrastructure and Security team and help shape the next stage of our cyber security capability.

You’ll design modern security controls across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, AWS and hybrid infrastructure—combining hands-on engineering with the influence to strengthen architecture, standards and technical decision-making across Digital & IT.

You’ll be a senior technical authority for security, helping ensure our platforms, applications and services remain secure, resilient and aligned with organisational priorities.

From strengthening cloud architecture to leading the response to complex incidents, you’ll focus on the areas that present the greatest risk and opportunity.

You’ll:

• Design and improve security controls across Azure, AWS and Microsoft 365.
• Lead incident response, vulnerability management and remediation activity.
• Strengthen threat detection through SIEM, EDR, NDR and proactive threat hunting.
• Embed secure-by-design and Zero Trust principles across technical projects.
• Improve identity, access governance, endpoint, network and infrastructure security.
• Support continued alignment with Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 and the Cyber Assessment Framework.

You’ll also develop playbooks and technical standards, support audit and governance activity, evaluate new security technologies and use scripting and automation to make our security operations faster and more effective.

You’ll join a national organisation that is investing in modern technology and strengthening its cyber security maturity.

You’ll have genuine influence over our security architecture, tooling and technical direction—while working with cloud platforms and services that have a clear social purpose.

This is an opportunity to build stronger defences, develop the capability of others and shape security improvements that will last.

We reserve the right to close this opportunity early if we receive a high number of applications, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

 

This opportunity may be eligible for visa sponsorship. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK at the time of application.

 

Please note that we are not accepting applications from recruitment agencies for this vacancy. Direct applications only.
