Who you are

- A good understanding of digital security best practices across cloud, network, and application environments
- First-hand experience triaging and responding to security incidents, with evidence of growing into more senior responsibilities
- A track record of delivering improvements—such as designing new processes, leading on incidents, or implementing automation to reduce risk and effort
- Practical experience working collaboratively with Engineering and IT teams to investigate, resolve, and prevent security issues
- Familiarity with application security principles, with exposure to penetration testing or ethical hacking (CEH or similar certification is a plus)
- Awareness of industry frameworks like ISO 27001, CIS, or similar, and ideally holding a CISMP certification
- A proactive interest in cyber security trends, with a willingness to engage in continuous learning and community knowledge sharing

- You’ll play a key role in shaping our growing security function and contributing to the maturity of our security programme, building resilient systems, influencing engineering practices, and driving meaningful change in a supportive environment
- Monitor, triage, and respond to security alerts and incidents—investigating and coordinating effective containment, resolution, and recovery
- Proactively identify and assess vulnerabilities, recommending and applying improvements to strengthen our defences
- Design, implement, and maintain security controls across cloud, network, and application environments
- Continuously improve how we work by developing and refining playbooks, automating processes, and reducing manual effort
- Collaborate closely with Engineering and IT teams to embed security at every stage of the development lifecycle

- Contribute to evolving internal policies and promote awareness of good security practices across teams
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Many essential workers, like those in the NHS and emergency services, often face financial strain due to the demanding nature of their jobs. Their tireless efforts leave little time for personal pursuits, and their salaries might not always reflect the sacrifices they make.
To tackle this problem, Blue Light Card has established partnerships with nearly 15,000 retailers, offering a wide array of savings and benefits that are not typically accessible to the general public. Through its discount card, members gain access to discounts both online and in various high street establishments, including retailers, restaurants, and cinemas across the UK.
With millions of registered members and a growing network of partner retailers, Blue Light Card is well-positioned to enhance its offerings and continue advocating for the recognition and appreciation of the dedicated individuals who serve society's most critical needs.
