Information Security Team Role
The Information Security team defends the company’s digital infrastructure by designing, implementing, and improving the company’s cybersecurity architecture. This is a critical role responsible for protecting infrastructure, cloud, edge devices, and data against unauthorized use, modification, exfiltration, or damage. This role identifies threats, manages projects, and engineers solutions that impact the entire company. An ideal candidate for this role is technical, dedicated to learning new things, security-minded, strong initiative, and able to manage projects autonomously.
This role is office-based in the central London Medpace office. You must be located within commuting distance to be considered for this position.
Responsibilities
- Design, deploy, and maintain enterprise security solutions with minimal oversight, collaborating with global IT teams to protect Medpace’s systems (e.g., implementing new security tools or architectures).
- Own the administration and reliability of key security platforms (such as privileged access management, EDR, and SIEM), ensuring they are well-configured, up-to-date, and fully operational; coordinate upgrades and fixes proactively.
- Lead cross-functional security projects (e.g., cloud security improvements, network segmentation plans, identity security enhancements) from planning through execution, coordinating with stakeholders across departments to deliver results.
- Serve as a technical escalation point for complex security incidents or issues, independently investigating and resolving advanced problems (especially during off-hours for global coverage) and providing guidance to SOC Analysts and IT teams as needed.
- Improve and automate security operations by developing scripts, integrations, or workflows to reduce manual effort, enhance detection capabilities, and streamline incident response (e.g., building security automation in cloud or SIEM).
- Integrate security into enterprise systems and processes, working closely with Network, Cloud, and DevOps teams to embed robust security controls and best practices into infrastructure and software lifecycles.
- Document architectures, procedures, and solutions, ensuring knowledge is captured and shared; mentor and cross-train team members (especially developing Analysts) to strengthen overall team capabilities.
- Stay current with emerging threats and technologies, continuously researching new security trends, tools, and techniques to drive innovative improvements in the organization’s security posture.

- Excellent communication and documentation skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and coordinate effectively across teams.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, capable of independently troubleshooting and resolving complex security issues.

Nice to Have:
