Job Description

Is this you? You're highly organised, analytical, and thrive in complex environments. You have a passion for cybersecurity and emerging threats, with a curious mindset that fuels your love for detection, threat hunting, and problem-solving. You enjoy collaborating with remote teams and excel under pressure, always focused on designing smart, effective solutions. If you're result-driven with a strong service ethic and a love for Microsoft and hybrid infrastructures, this could be your next big move.
What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it) You'll take ownership of implementing and optimising cutting-edge security technologies across a global IT landscape. This role involves monitoring events and incidents, leading threat detection and response activities, refining automation and detection rules, and collaborating closely with MDR partners. You'll design secure architectures, draft remediation strategies, and produce both technical and executive-level incident reports. With access to external threat intelligence and a culture of continuous improvement, you'll have the tools to make a real impact while expanding your expertise.
Where you'll be doing it Our client is a global leader in multi-family office services, with a footprint spanning 20 offices across 14 jurisdictions. They support over 250 high-net-worth families with strategic planning, investments, and day-to-day advisory. You'll be part of a company that values long-term partnerships, innovation, and excellence, working in a high-performance culture with international reach and a collaborative, forward-thinking IT team.
What you'll need You'll need a bachelor's degree in information security or equivalent experience, plus at least 7 years in IT security. Certifications like OSCP, CCSP, or any of the Microsoft SC-series are highly desirable. Deep expertise in Microsoft environments (365 Defender, Azure, Sentinel), scripting, SIEM tools, and offensive security techniques are key. You should also bring strong knowledge of TCP/IP, EDR/EPP solutions, and firewalls, with the ability to automate and drive security initiatives independently.
What you'll get In return, you'll join a globally respected, stable organisation with a strong security culture and international exposure. You'll be supported in your growth, work on leading technologies, and contribute to a team that values innovation and service excellence.
