Role Description
We are looking for a Lead IT Security Engineer to own and operationalise our security roadmap, ensuring the protection of our SaaS-based environment, devices, and data. This is a business-critical role and the first dedicated IT security position at ZOE, giving you the opportunity to shape our policies and practices from the ground up.
- Shape and implement a comprehensive IT security roadmap that aligns with ZOE’s business goals, covering everything from endpoint security and identity/access management to DLP (Data Loss Prevention) and logging/monitoring.
- Drive security programs around OS and application patch management, disk encryption, and local admin privilege management, ensuring corporate devices and contractor/BYOD setups meet compliance and security standards.
- Assess, mitigate, and manage security risks across our SaaS ecosystem (over 100 apps), corporate IT systems, and infrastructure.
- Lead projects such as domain registration migrations, centralised logging/SIEM setup, and endpoint protection rollouts.
- Develop and enforce security policies and frameworks, covering identity and access management, incident response, vendor security reviews, and data handling.
- Drive automation and adopt Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) patterns to ensure security controls and configurations are repeatable, consistent, and easily deployed across our endpoints and cloud resources.
- Lead security compliance efforts in partnership with the Legal team, and provide technical guidance to the organisation on data privacy regulations (GDPR, DPA, CCPA etc.).
- Monitor, investigate, and respond to security incidents, performing root cause analysis, implementing proactive measures and taking lead on responding to IT security incidents.
- Cultivate a security-first culture by delivering ongoing training (e.g., phishing simulations, secure practices) and collaborating with teams on secure SaaS configuration.
- Evaluate, select, and deploy security tools and technologies (e.g., EDR, MDM solutions), balancing strong security posture with user experience.
- Own privileged access reviews and work with stakeholders to enforce least privilege across critical applications and data.
- Stay ahead of evolving security threats and trends, continuously improving our security capabilities and processes.
Qualifications
- Extensive experience in corporate IT security, cybersecurity, or information security, ideally in a fast-paced, SaaS-based and cloud-based environment.
- Proven ability to design, implement, and own security strategies independently.
- Strong understanding of network security, and device management (Mac, Chromebook, or other).
- Awareness of cloud security practices (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Hands-on expertise in incident response, vulnerability management, endpoint protection (e.g., EDR), and security operations (logging, SIEM).
- Deep knowledge of security industry best practices and data privacy regulations (GDPR, DPA, CCPA).
- Experience embedding security culture: phishing training, running security awareness programs (KnowBe4 or similar), and guiding stakeholders on best practices.
- Ability to communicate security risks and concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and work autonomously on big initiatives.
- A proactive, problem-solving mindset: comfortable tackling complex issues like domain migrations, privileged access reviews, and DLP rollout in a single role.
- Experience working in a remote, international team is a plus.
Benefits
- Competitive health insurance and wellness packages.
- Inclusive parental policies.
- Building connection and tailored professional development programs.
Equal opportunities
We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive team where every individual can bring their authentic self to work. We believe that this is key to our success and are dedicated to positively impacting the tech industry.
