Remote - Cyber-Security Manager (OWASP, AWS)

Mô tả công việc

You know how to find the gaps. Now take ownership of closing them.

 

Our client is a fast-growing international technology company building and operating large-scale digital platforms across multiple markets. As the business expands, so does the complexity of protecting its systems, infrastructure, users and transactions.

 

They are looking for a hands-on Cybersecurity Manager to build and lead the security function from the ground up. You will have direct access to management, ownership of the security roadmap, and the authority to decide where the business needs to strengthen its defenses.

 

This is not an audit or policy-only position. You need to know how to test, find weaknesses, manage incidents and make sure security issues actually get fixed.

 

About the role

You own security end to end: testing, risk assessment, external security partners, incident response and team development. You will work closely with engineering and management, covering everything from application and infrastructure security to cloud environments and platform integrity.

 

The expectation is simple: understand where the risks are, know how serious they are, and take ownership of getting them resolved.

 

What you will do

• Build the company's security strategy and roadmap, deciding what needs attention first and where resources should be invested.
• Establish and lead the security function, building the team as the business grows.
• Lead security assessments across web applications, APIs, infrastructure and cloud environments.
• Maintain a clear inventory of company assets and a risk register to identify and track potential exposure.
• Manage external security specialists and assessment partners, ensuring identified issues are properly addressed and closed.
• Identify weaknesses in platform workflows, user accounts and transaction processes, including potential misuse and unauthorized activities.
• Conduct simulated social engineering exercises and improve security awareness across the organisation.
• Establish vulnerability management, security monitoring and incident response processes.
• Work closely with engineering teams to review new features, strengthen application security and integrate security practices into development.
• Take charge of security incidents, coordinating containment, investigation and communication with management.
• Present security risks and progress to leadership in clear, business-focused terms.
