Overview Title: Cyber Security Platform Engineer - Microsoft Reference No: 2161 Company: FTSE 100 Reports to: Security Platform Engineering Manager Location: London Working Pattern: 37.5 hours per week, Monday - Friday. Location: London/Peterborough, with potential travel to divisional sites as required by advisory engagements (hybrid working arrangements in place). Salary: £59,000 - £72,000 Benefits: Bupa, Matched pension contributions. The Role Group Cyber Security Overview The Group Cyber Security (GCS) team is responsible for managing cyber risk appropriately across) the Group and has recently refreshed its cyber strategy, with a renewed focus on embedding cyber security as part of the culture and DNA. This is a highly federated business model spanning 11 divisions and over 50 countries, and the cyber strategy has been designed to build materially improved security capabilities whilst working with a divisional focus. It is an exciting time to join GCS. We are in a period of significant investment, with a multi-year transformation programme under way to build new security capabilities at pace. GCS is responsible for setting the Group cyber standard, measuring compliance against it across all the businesses, and delivering a portfolio of centrally managed security services that divisions can rely on. The Security Platform Engineering function is central to that portfolio - responsible for ensuring that the security tools the organisation invests in are deeply understood, expertly configured, continuously improved, and consistently delivering their intended security and business value. Microsoft is the most strategically significant security platform, and the uplift and optimisation of the Microsoft security estate is one of the most consequential engineering challenges in the GCS transformation programme. Role Summary Reporting to the Security Platform Engineering Manager, the Cyber Security Platform Engineer - Microsoft is the Group dedicated technical authority for the Microsoft security platform. The role carries implied ownership of the full Microsoft security stack: the M365 Defender suite, the security-relevant capabilities of Microsoft Entra ID (conditional access, Privileged Identity Management, access packages, and least privilege), Intune, and the foundational configuration of the Microsoft 365 and Azure environments on which all of these depend. This is a role that extends beyond BAU platform management: a significant part of the initial mandate is to critically assess the current state of the Microsoft estate - spanning E3, Active Directory, Entra ID, Intune, and existing Defender deployments - identify the gaps against vendor-recommended best practice and the Group cyber standard, and build a prioritised strategy and plan to close them. This role is the primary technical owner of that relationship on the GCS side - working directly with the Microsoft team to prioritise, plan, and drive the E5 deployment across the estate, and ensuring that the professional services and engineering resources available are directed at the highest-value activities. The role must navigate the realities of the federated organisation with skill: delivery will depend on partnership with divisional IT teams, and getting there will require excellent stakeholder management, a clear change communication approach, and an absolute commitment to end-user experience. Zero tolerance for avoidable downtime is not a preference - it is a non-negotiable operating constraint. The role works in close partnership with the Cyber Architecture Manager, the Group CTO function, the IT Frameworks Director, Assurance leads, Divisional Security Leads, and the Identity Transformation team. It shares the defining mindset of the whole platform engineering function: genuine passion for the Microsoft platform, curiosity about its full capability, and the drive to get to a secure, consistent, vendor-recommended configuration as quickly and as safely as possible. Role Responsibilities / Accountabilities Microsoft Estate Assessment, Gap Analysis & Strategy Conduct a structured, critical assessment of the current Microsoft security estate, covering Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Intune, M365 (E3 and current Defender deployments), and Azure security configuration; benchmark the current state against Microsoft's secure score recommendations, vendor best practice, and the Group cyber technical standard, and produce a clear, evidence-based gap analysis. Develop a prioritised Microsoft security uplift strategy and delivery plan that sequences remediation and enhancement activity by risk reduction impact, operational feasibility, and alignment with the E5 migration roadmap; ensure the plan is realistic for federated environment and has clear milestones, owners, and success criteria. Maintain the Microsoft security uplift plan as a live document; track progress against milestones, report status to the Security Platform Engineering Manager, and adapt the plan to the Groups environment, the threat landscape, and the Microsoft product roadmap evolve. Microsoft Defender Platform Ownership & Engineering Own the technical configuration, ongoing engineering, and operational health of the full M365 Defender suite, including Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud Apps, Defender for Office 365, and Microsoft Sentinel integration; maintain configurations to the approved baseline and drive continuous improvement against vendor-recommended configuration. Work closely with the SOC to tune Defender configurations for effective detection and response; adjust detection rules, custom detection queries, and alert thresholds in response to SOC operational feedback, ensuring analysts receive high-fidelity, actionable alerts with minimal noise. Develop and maintain detailed configuration documentation, runbooks, and change records for all Defender workloads; ensure configuration state is consistently documented, version-controlled, and auditable. Entra ID Security & Identity Controls Own the security configuration of Microsoft Entra ID across the Group; take implied technical ownership of the security-relevant Entra capabilities including Conditional Access policy design and enforcement, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), access packages and entitlement management, Identity Protection, and the application of least privilege principles across the directory. Work with the Cyber Architecture Manager, the IT Frameworks Director, and Assurance leads to ensure that GCS policies - including BYOD, remote access, and privilege management policies - are correctly and completely manifested in Entra Conditional Access policies and Intune device compliance rules; maintain a clear mapping between policy intent and platform configuration. Support the Active Directory to Entra ID modernisation journey; identify legacy AD configurations and hybrid identity risks that need to be addressed as part of the E5 migration, and work with the Identity Transformation team to ensure Entra security configuration activity is co-ordinated with the broader identity programme. Own the Intune security configuration, maintain device compliance policies, configuration profiles, and security baselines; ensure Intune is configured to enforce the Group endpoint security standard and provides accurate device compliance data to Entra Conditional Access and the Defender estate. E5 Migration, ECIF Engagement & Microsoft Relationship Act as GCS's primary technical liaison to the Microsoft ECIF (Engineering Co-Investment Fund) team; plan, prioritise, and drive the E5 deployment programme in partnership with the ECIF team, ensuring that Microsoft engineering resources are directed at the highest-value activities and that the Organisation is getting the maximum benefit from the co-investment engagement. Manage the technical relationship with Microsoft across the security and identity platform; maintain active engagement with Microsoft technical account management, product specialists, and engineering teams; use the account relationship to gain early access to roadmap briefings, preview features, escalation paths, and best-practice guidance relevant to the organisations environment. Plan and manage the technical delivery of E5 capability rollout across the divisions; sequence deployment activity to maximise early security value, sequence it safely within the change management constraints, and ensure each phase is fully tested, documented, and supported before moving to the next. Maintain accurate records of Microsoft licence entitlements, feature adoption, and E5 deployment progress; ensure the Group is consuming the capabilities it is paying for, and provide the Security Platform Engineering Manager with clear, up-to-date visibility of licence utilisation and deployment status. Policy Manifestation, Standards Alignment & Assurance Translate Group cyber technical standards and security policies into enforceable Microsoft platform configurations; maintain a clear, auditable mapping between each policy requirement and its implementation in Defender, Entra, Intune, or other Microsoft controls, and ensure divergence is identified and remediated promptly. Work closely with the Director of Cyber Assurance and Assurance leads to support controls assessment of the Microsoft estate; provide technical evidence of configuration compliance . click apply for full job details
