Cloud Security Lead ? London | Hybrid - 3 days in-office per week ? Up to £90,000 + ~20% Bonus + 10% Pension

Are you passionate about cloud security and cyber risk management? A leading international business has completed a major IT transformation and is now expanding its technology team. They're looking for a highly skilled Cloud Security Lead to help shape and strengthen secure cloud architectures and practices across a complex enterprise environment.

In this pivotal role, you'll be part of the CIO office, reporting into the Business Information Security Officer (BISO). You'll collaborate closely with internal IT teams and group-level security functions to manage cloud-based cyber risks, coordinate remediation strategies, and enhance executive-level reporting.

? Key Responsibilities:

  • Define and enforce security best practices across cloud environments (Azure, AWS)

     

  • Lead cloud security risk assessments, audits, and incident response efforts

     

  • Integrate security into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps operations

     

  • Manage and interpret insights from cloud-native security tools (e.g., GuardDuty, Azure Defender)

     

  • Ensure compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, HIPAA

     

  • Contribute to architectural design reviews, cloud migration planning, and documentation

     

  • Support executive reporting by producing clear metrics for cyber risk posture

     

  • Continuously track and respond to emerging threats and vulnerabilities

     

? What They're Looking For:

  • 5-10 years of experience in technical cyber roles (SOC, security engineering, threat analysis)

     

  • Minimum 3-5 years working in cloud environments

     

  • Deep knowledge of Microsoft Azure (and ideally AWS)

     

  • Expertise in vulnerability management, incident response, and cyber risk triage

     

  • Strong understanding of cloud security principles and the shared responsibility model

     

  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and Zero Trust architectures

     

  • Confident communicator, able to translate technical risk for executive audiences

     

  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional meetings and remediation efforts

     

? Preferred Certifications:

  • CCSP, CISSP, CISM, or cloud-specific qualifications (e.g., Azure Security Engineer, AWS Security - Specialty)

     

? Why Join Them?

  • Salary up to £90,000 + ~20% bonus + 10% pension

     

  • Work-life balance with hybrid working (3 days in the office)

     

  • Be part of a forward-thinking organisation in a highly visible and impactful role
