Senior Cyber Security Engineer

Join a national professional services firm investing heavily in cyber security and technology uplift. This senior role blends hands-on security engineering, incident response, vulnerability management and project delivery across a broad enterprise environment.

About You

• Communicates professionally with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and is comfortable engaging senior executives, partners and clients
• An energetic self-starter who improves documentation, formalises processes and takes ownership without needing constant direction
