Cyber Security Engineer
Cambridge
£35k-£40k
Let's be honest—you’re probably already in a cyber security role, comfortable, and not necessarily looking for something new. But every now and then, a unique opportunity comes along that’s worth considering. This Cyber Security Officer role in Cambridge is one of those rare chances to help build an IT Security function from the ground up, shaping the future of cyber within a growing organisation.
Imagine having the freedom to design processes, lead projects, and make a real impact in a company that’s committed to your growth. And it comes with a strong benefits package: 25 days of leave, private medical cover, a company bonus, training opportunities, and even a gym membership.
The Opportunity: You'll be one of the first cyber-focused hires in this business, which means a real chance to make your mark. In this role, you’ll develop and maintain security procedures, detect and respond to cyber incidents, and take the lead on various projects—all while working toward Cyber Essentials+ and ISO27001 certifications. Plus, you’ll train others in best practices, helping to create a security-aware culture across the business.
What We're Looking For: If you’ve got at least two years of cyber security experience, possibly starting in IT Support or infrastructure, and you’re ready to take on a lead role, this could be a perfect fit.
From your CV, we need to see evidence of the below:
* Experience in detecting, logging, and managing cyber incidents.
* Experience implementing security processes and/or systems.
* Previous experience managing security focussed projects.
* Knowledge of Microsoft Defender and Sentinel.
* Familiarity with Cyber Essentials+ and/or ISO27001.
* Strong communication skills to share insights and recommendations with the team.
As part of the wider IT function, you’ll work closely with an MSP to bolster security as the business continues to grow. And with a company known for internal career progression, there’s potential for this role to evolve into a Security Manager position down the line.
