About i-media
i-media is an intelligent motoring media network, powered by data, insights, and pioneering technology. We offer advertisers access to an attractive media-starved audience via full-motion DOOH, experiential, and in-app advertising solutions. A multi-layered communication platform delivering both broadcast and targeted audiences through the intelligent use of data and analytics, i-media is on a mission to digitise and redefine how brands connect with on-the-go motorists.
Role Overview
We're looking for an IT & Cyber Security Lead to own and strengthen i-media's cyber security posture and IT governance framework, reducing risk and ensuring compliance while enabling the business to move fast. You'll bring senior oversight to our day-to-day IT operations alongside our IT Support Technician, and act as the internal lead managing relationships with our external specialist providers for penetration testing and network security.
You'll work closely with our CTO to embed a security-first culture across the business - setting policy, driving governance, and making sure the practicalities of access, devices, and monitoring hold up under scrutiny.
This is a great opportunity if you're a security-minded technologist who's equally comfortable setting strategy and getting hands-on, with the stakeholder skills to bring the wider team along with you.
