IT Risk & Security Manager

Ready to take the lead on IT, risk and cyber security in a growing financial services organisation that truly values your expertise?

We’re looking for a cyber-savvy, forward-thinking professional who’s ready to take ownership of IT risk management and cyber security across a growing and supportive organisation.

About the Role

You’ll be the go-to IT and Cyber Security expert – setting the standard, shaping the strategy, and delivering a best-in-class framework. This isn’t just another IT job – it’s a leadership role with impact.

You’ll lead and deliver on information security policies and procedures, aligning to ISO27001 standards and ensuring robust cyber risk mitigation across internal teams and third-party providers. You’ll also take the reins of their Security Incident Event Management (SIEM) system, monitoring and developing baseline security protocols for all users and external partners.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading the relationship and performance management of 3rd party IT providers.
• Responding to security incidents as part of the Disaster Recovery Team and contributing to Business Continuity Planning.
• Upskilling colleagues through practical, engaging training to reduce cyber risk organisation-wide.
• Driving strategic recommendations for cyber security improvements as a key member of the senior management team.
• Advising and supporting the CEO on cyber security risk management and effectiveness.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in a senior IT support or junior IT management role with a strong focus on information security.
• Accreditations such as CySA+, CISSP, or CEH (these will give you a head start).
• Hands-on experience maintaining and developing SIEM systems.
• A strong working knowledge of the ISO27001 framework.
• Confidence working independently, taking initiative, and thinking innovatively to improve processes.
• A natural ability to support, mentor and guide others – even without direct line management responsibilities.

What’s in it for You?

• A base salary of circa £44,000, dependent on experience.
• Monday to Friday working hours, with some home working options.
• 25 days holiday allowance plus your bank holidays.
• Private health plan, generous employer pension contributions, and other great perks with the benefits package.
• Free onsite parking, team events, and a down-to-earth, welcoming environment where you’ll actually enjoy coming to work.

This is a business that feels like family – supportive, professional, and ambitious. You’ll be empowered to grow your career while making a real difference.
