In this role you’ll work in a hybrid way – splitting your time between home and the office (find out more about our hybrid working policy at colleagues.coop.co.uk/hybrid-working-policy).

As an Information Security Lead at Co-op, you’ll work closely alongside our Information Security Leadership team to help make sure our strategy is effective at dealing with the current and future cyber threat landscape.

• Help to investigate and resolve any issues identified by our Information Security team
• Lead on the implementation and continuous improvement of our security platforms
• Co-ordinate the onboarding of any upgrades to our security toolset and handover successfully to our third-party supplier
• Make sure the SOPS, Play Books and Use Cases created by our third-party security providers are fit for purpose, and identify potential improvement opportunities
• Provide management and operational support of the Microsoft Cloud Native and AWS security tools

This role would suit people who have

• Significant experience in an Information/Cyber Security Engineering role
• Service delivery and management experience, relevant to the role
• Hands-on experience implementing the Microsoft security tooling/platforms
• Knowledge of SIEM, Anti-Malware platforms, and project methodologies
• An understanding of cloud native security tools and information security best-practices

At Co-op, we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive working environment, so if you'd like to apply for this role but your experience doesn't quite meet every point, we'd still encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for the job or other roles we have available.

• A pension with up to 10% employer contributions
• Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ)

Building an inclusive work environment

At Co-op, we’re proud to do things a different way. As one of the world’s largest co-operatives, owned by millions of members, community is at the heart of what we do. Since our Co-op was founded in 1844, we’ve had a clear social purpose, and everything we do as a business helps to build a fairer world for our members, customers, colleagues, and communities.

We’re actively building diverse teams and we welcome applications from everyone. If you have a disability, we can make reasonable adjustments to our recruitment process according to your needs. We're also part of the Disability Confident scheme, meaning we'll always offer an interview to disabled candidates who apply through the scheme if they meet the minimum criteria for a job.

We'll ask whether you’d like to be considered under the Disability Confident scheme when you apply.

If we invite you to take part in the recruitment process for any of our jobs, we’ll ask you if you need any reasonable adjustments to enable you to participate.
