• Security tooling administration — Owning day-to-day administration of our security stack, including SASE, CASB, EDR, SIEM, and MDM. Tuning policies and detections, maintaining coverage across a distributed fleet, investigating alerts, and keeping the tooling useful rather than merely deployed. • Security Education, Training and Awareness — Designing and running SETA across the organisation: onboarding security training, phishing simulations, targeted sessions for higher-risk teams, and awareness material that colleagues in six offices actually read. • Incident response — Triaging and investigating security events, coordinating containment and recovery, maintaining and exercising the incident response plan, and writing up what happened and what changes as a result. • Risk assessment — Conducting information and data security risk assessments on projects, systems, vendors, and data flows. Translating findings into recommendations that project teams can act on within their timelines. • Partner due diligence — Responding to security and data protection due diligence requests from funders, government partners, and clients, and maintaining the evidence library so each response is faster than the last. • Policy and guidance — Developing and maintaining information security policies, standards, and practical guidelines, and keeping them aligned with recognised frameworks and with our regulatory obligations. • Data protection compliance — Supporting compliance with GDPR and the national data protection regimes in the countries where we operate: data mapping, retention, subject rights requests, and the assessments that new processing activities require. • Governance, risk, and compliance — Contributing to the control framework, maintaining the risk register, and supporting internal and external assurance activity. • AI governance — Contributing to how IDinsight governs AI use on project and organisational data: tool assessment, acceptable use guidance, and the controls that make responsible use the default. • Systems Support: You will occasionally provide Systems Support via our internal help desk. This gives you direct insight into the technical challenges IDinsighters face and lets you deliver high-impact solutions. • Continuous Learning: IDinsight utilises a diverse ecosystem of tools. While we don’t expect day-one mastery of every system, we look for a commitment to building deep technical expertise over time. We support security certification and continuing professional education. • 3–5 years of professional experience in information security, IT security operations, or a closely related role; • Hands-on administration experience with at least three of SASE, CASB, EDR, SIEM, and MDM, and the ability to get productive on the rest; • Demonstrated experience in incident response, including investigation and post-incident reporting; • Experience conducting information or data security risk assessments and communicating findings to non-technical audiences;
