Naimuri - Information Security Officer

Job Title:               Naimuri - Information Security Officer

Job Location:        Salford Quays, Manchster

Job Type:              Permanent, Fulltime - onsite

Job ID:                  20594

The Mission:

At Naimuri, we provide the tech that protects. As our Information Security Officer, you will sit at the heart of our mission, bridging the gap between high-level compliance and hands-on technical security. You won’t just be writing policies; you’ll be ensuring they work in the real world. Reporting directly to the Head of Security, you will play a pivotal role in maintaining our reputation as a trusted partner to our customers.

The Balance: What You’ll Be Doing:

1. Governance, Risk & Compliance (The "Handoff")

• Framework Management: Manage and evolve our security management systems, ensuring we remain aligned with security frameworks & standards, e.g. Cyber Essentials Plus & ISO27001.


• Policy Evolution: Work with the Head of Security to develop and implement security policies that balance the need for security with the agility needed for a modern tech company.


• Security Auditing: Conduct internal audits and coordinate with external assessors to ensure our security posture is ironclad.


• Third-Party Risk: Assess the security of our supply chain and software vendors.

2. Technical Security & Operations (The "Hands-on")

• Collaborative Defence: Work alongside the internal teams to harden our cloud environments (AWS/Azure) and ensure end-user devices (laptops, mobile) are configured securely.


• Vulnerability Management: Run and remediate vulnerability scans; don’t just report the issues; help figure out how to fix them.


• Incident Response: Be a key part of our incident response team, investigating alerts and refining our "playbooks" for future threats.


• Identity & Access: Manage the lifecycle of software licenses and access controls, ensuring the principle of least privilege is always met.

Who You Are:

• The Bridge: You can talk "tech" within a very technical company but also explain "risk" to a non-technical stakeholder.


• Growth Mindset: You are at a mid-level stage in your career and are hungry to step up. You want a seat at the table where decisions are made.


• Agile & Dynamic: You thrive in fast-paced environments. You’d rather solve a problem than wait for a ticket to be assigned.


• Security First: You have a natural "security mindset" you see the vulnerability in the process before it becomes a problem.

Your Toolkit (Requirements):

• Experience: 2-4 years in an Information Security or dual IT/Security role, ideally within a regulated industry or government-adjacent sector.


• Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with cloud platform security (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and MDM solutions for managing corporate devices.


• Regulatory Knowledge: Understanding of UK Data Protection/GDPR and ISO 27001.


• Certification: While not mandatory, certifications such as CompTIA Security+, SSCP, or CISM are a significant plus.

Why Naimuri?

• People First: Expect a supportive environment that values your mental health and professional development.


• High Impact: Your work directly supports the safety and security of the UK.


• Culture: A vibrant Salford-based team with a "work hard, support each other" ethos.

• Pension matched 1.5x up to 10.5%


• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
