Meet the Security team

Our Security team protects LEAP’s people, information, infrastructure and applications from an evolving cyber threat landscape. Working closely with internal teams and external partners, we embed practical, fit-for-purpose security practices across the business.

The team spans three specialist domains: Platform Security Engineering, Enterprise Security, and Governance, Risk & Compliance, which work closely together to deliver a mature, scalable and enterprise-ready security capability. You’ll be joining an established, supportive group that values collaboration, shared ownership and high standards.

We’re passionate about staying ahead of emerging threats, investigating and responding to incidents using modern threat intelligence and tools to continuously strengthen LEAP’s security posture and protect what matters most.

What you'll do

As Cyber Security Manager, you will take ownership of identity, endpoint, and Microsoft 365 security across LEAP, while supporting the wider information security and compliance program. You’ll work closely with IT and business stakeholders day-to-day and report to the CISO.

This is a senior role that blends hands-on ownership with stakeholder leadership - you’ll shape how identity, endpoint, and vulnerability management practices evolve, and have a direct hand in maturing LEAP’s SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs.

This role sits within Enterprise Security, owning corporate IT, identity, SaaS, and Microsoft 365 security. It works closely with Platform Security Engineering (product, cloud, and application security) and Governance, Risk & Compliance.

To make this happen, you will:

• Work closely with IT teams on the administration of security technologies, policies, and controls across the Microsoft ecosystem - including Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Intune.
• Own the security posture of SaaS applications, reviewing API permissions, third-party app approvals, and data sharing configurations to manage integration risk.
• Develop and test incident response playbooks to contain and remediate threats across endpoints, identity, SaaS, and cloud.
• Maintain endpoint detection and response tooling such as CrowdStrike, and lead reviews of security risks, vulnerabilities, and control effectiveness, including assessments and remediation tracking.
• Act as subject matter expert on identity and endpoint controls when Governance, Risk & Compliance runs audits and assurance activities.
• Partner with internal stakeholders, customers, and external parties on security requirements, acting as a trusted point of contact on policy and risk questions.
• Design and deliver security awareness education programs, building security capability across the wider organisation.

Requirements

What you'll bring

• Proven experience in an Information Security / Cyber Security leadership role, ideally within enterprise environments.
• Strong understanding of security governance, risk, and compliance, including identity management, endpoint security, vulnerability management, and security awareness.
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 and its security tooling - Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Intune.
• Working knowledge of security and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST. Exposure to AI governance, such as ISO 42001.
• Experience managing security risks, controls, and assurance activities, including audits, assessments, and remediation.
• A broad understanding across multiple cyber security domains, with the confidence to engage technical teams, senior leaders, customers, and auditors alike.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to translate security concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or Microsoft security certifications (SC-300, SC-200 or similar) are highly regarded.

You are the type of person who

• Takes ownership of security issues and drives them through to resolution.
• Builds pragmatic, trusted relationships across IT, engineering, and the business.
• Balances hands-on delivery with the judgement to step up and lead when needed.
• Communicates risk and security concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
