Senior Security Manager
Location: London (Hybrid)
Type: Permanent
Are you an experienced cyber security professional looking for a role where you can genuinely influence the security strategy of a large, technology-driven organisation?
Our client, a leading UK real estate business, is looking to appoint a Senior Security Manager to join its growing technology function. This is a newly created position offering the opportunity to take ownership of cyber security with a real focus on architecture and less on SOC as the MSP and MSSP will be doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
Working closely with the Security & Infrastructure Director, you'll play a key role in shaping and enhancing the organisation's security posture while collaborating with internal stakeholders and managed service partners.
The Opportunity
This is a hands-on leadership role that combines technical expertise with strategic oversight. You'll own day-to-day security operations, drive continuous improvement across security controls, and ensure security is embedded throughout technology delivery and business change initiatives.

- Driving security governance, assurance reporting, risk management, and compliance activities.
- Maintaining security policies, standards, and risk registers aligned to recognised frameworks including NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and NCSC CAF.
- Embedding Secure by Design principles across cloud platforms, applications, and software delivery.
- Acting as the security lead on technology projects, reviewing new solutions, and ensuring appropriate security controls are implemented.
- Managing third-party cyber risk, supplier assessments, and vendor assurance processes.
