Cyber Security Lead
The Onset
Posted 22 days ago
If you’re the kind of person who needs everything spelled out in neat little boxes, this probably isn’t your role.
if you’re all about neat, predictable, and fully baked plans, keep scrolling.
This role would suit someone on the way up, who has worked within an internal cyber program and looking for that next role where they can lead the program but you'll need to comfortable in ambiguity and some chaos.
You’ll be stepping into a cloud-first scale-up that’s just starting to get serious about security — so yeah, it’s messy, and you’ll have to figure some stuff out as you go. No legacy infrastructure slowing you down, but also no handrails.
You’ll be leading the foundational security effort over the next couple of years, driving cultural change in how the company thinks about and practices security. That means building a clear, realistic roadmap and guiding the business through the key milestones on the way to a more mature security posture.
This isn’t about ticking ISO boxes or chasing certifications. The goal is practical, usable frameworks and policies that actually make the business safer and easier to run, the stuff people will follow because it works, not because it’s mandated.
You’ll work closely across the whole business, basically wherever security needs to stick. You’ll be influencing and embedding good practices, not by barking orders, but by building relationships and making security make sense for everyone. Expect to engage the whole company — town halls, education campaigns, building awareness, and holding people accountable all without turning into the fun police.
They’ve got a managed service provider handling some cloud security tasks, but you’ll own internal accountability and manage those relationships.
You'll need to be technically solid. This isn’t just a strategy role where you talk a good game; you’ve got to understand the technical guts of cloud security, know how controls actually work, and be able to dive in when needed.
If you want to get stuck into building something real, deliver progress over perfection, and don’t mind a bit of chaos, this could be the gig for you.
