The Opportunity

We are looking for a Security Practice Lead to help build and mature our clients security services capability. The role spans three areas: defining and developing our security service portfolio, delivering those services to clients with consistency and quality, and supporting the sales team to win security business.

This is a hands-on, practitioner-level role with genuine influence over the direction of our security practice. You will work closely with delivery, sales, and pre-sales to ensure security is embedded across everything we take to market.

What You Will Do

Security Portfolio Development

Support the definition and development of Espria's Security Services portfolio: MDR, SIEM, Identity, Compliance, and AI SOC
Help productise security services with clearly defined scope, SLA, and pricing aligned to the standard service catalogue
Contribute to the security attach strategy, ensuring security services are embedded across platform bundles
Assist in developing Security+ and compliance offerings within the Modern Workplace and Cloud tiers
Keep the portfolio current - monitoring the threat landscape and recommending service enhancements where appropriate

Service Delivery & Automation

Lead the delivery of managed security services to clients, ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes
Contribute to the development of standardised security delivery processes, reducing reliance on bespoke approaches
Work within Espria's automated remediation workflow - integrating Tenable, NinjaOne, and HaloPSA - to support detect-to-remediate capability
Identify opportunities to improve automation within security workflows and feed recommendations into the broader automation roadmap
Support onboarding of new security customers, ensuring a smooth transition onto the platform
Collaborate with operations and finance to develop visibility of security service performance and profitability

Sales & Pre-Sales Support

Work closely with the sales team to support security-led opportunities from qualification through to close
Lead technical discovery and scoping conversations with prospects and existing clients
Produce and present solution designs, security assessments, and proposals that clearly articulate business value
Support bid and tender responses where security expertise is required
Develop sales enablement materials - including service overviews, battle cards, and objection-handling guides - to upskill the sales team on security
Contribute to client-facing QBRs by presenting security performance data and identifying upsell opportunities

Technical Leadership

Act as a senior technical voice on security across delivery, sales, and client engagements
Provide guidance and support to the delivery team on security incidents and escalations
Maintain working relationships with key vendors including Microsoft (Sentinel, Defender) and Tenable
Contribute to Microsoft co-sell activity where security expertise adds value

What We Are Looking For

Proven experience designing and delivering managed security services in an MSP or MSSP environment
Strong hands-on expertise across MDR, SIEM (Microsoft Sentinel preferred), Identity, and endpoint security
Experience with vulnerability management tooling - Tenable or equivalent - and understanding of remediation workflows
Demonstrable ability to build and standardise service delivery - not just configure tools
Commercial awareness: able to think in terms of margin, attach rates, and recurring revenue
Strong communicator - able to present at board level and lead technical pre-sales conversations equally
Only candidates based in UK and eligible to work in UK are allowed
