We need you to have a solid mix of technology and commercial skills, demonstrating critical thinking and problem-solving ability with a focus on business outcomes and efficiencies. You will provide thought leadership and be the recognised expert for your subject knowledge and skillset, enabling a strong contribution to scoping, solution design, configuration, and testing in a delivery capacity. Our successful candidate will have a detailed understanding of Security Infrastructure design and IT Security best practice.
