Security Administrator

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and proactive Security Administrator to join our technology team. This is a critical, hands-on role responsible for securing our entire digital footprint, from internal corporate systems to client-facing applications, including our proprietary solutions.

The ideal candidate is a versatile, technology-agnostic problem solver. You must be able to analyze complex environments, design robust security solutions, and execute the necessary configurations. A key part of this role is the ability to propose the right solution for the business, whether it is a proprietary, commercial product (like Microsoft's) or an open-source alternative.

You will be responsible for monitoring our security posture, responding to threats, and proactively hardening our systems. This position requires technical knowledge of both Microsoft environments and common open-source security platforms, along with a good understanding of application security. You will work hand-in-hand with our engineering team to integrate security into all aspects of our technology and will provide supervisory guidance on security-related tasks, reporting directly to the Head of Technology.

4. Supervision & Collaboration:

• Provide technical supervision and guidance to engineering and IT team members on the correct implementation of security controls and best practices.

• Act as the primary technical point of contact for security incidents, coordinating the response between the technology team and management.

• Work closely with the Head of Technology to develop, document, and maintain security policies, standards, and procedures.

• Liaise with the engineering team to ensure security is a core component of all new product development and system rollouts.
