Job description
Help us keep the University of Southampton secure!
We are seeking a Cyber Security Manager to work in our Information and Cyber Security team to help us make our University a safe and secure place to study and work as we aim to be a world top 50 university by 2028.
This is an exciting role where you will be working with myself and my team to keep our critical services and data safe from cyber-attack and improve our cyber resilience.
You’ll be working closely with the rest of the Information and Cyber Security team, other members of the University’s IT department, our Information Governance team, and colleagues across the University to help make sure that all our systems and services are secure. We’ll expect you to be able to share your specialist security knowledge and experience to help defend the University’s digital services from cyber-attack.
About you
We’re looking for someone wanting to take the next step in their security career. If you’ve been working as a security advisor, analyst, or architect this could be the role for you.
We welcome applicants that value the diversity of our community and are willing to play their part in supporting the mission of inclusivity.
If you have a genuine interest in cyber security, are interested in helping our University become a more secure place to work, and believe you have what it takes to do this role, we want to hear from you, no matter what your previous career background.
What we can offer you
We support a flexible approach to work and welcome hybrid working; the team currently works in the office one day a week, with the remaining four days from home.
We have a range of benefits to make your life easier. In addition to a generous holiday allowance you will receive additional university closure days at Easter and Christmas. As staff you would be eligible for reduced fees at our on campus Early Years Centre, which provides quality childcare from birth to five years. Your long-term future would be supported with access to the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), subsidised health and fitness facilities and a range of discounts.
As a university we aim to create an inclusive environment that attracts, supports, and retains the best students and staff from diverse backgrounds and experiences from across the world. We are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and equality of opportunity. We believe that we can only truly meet our objectives if we are reflective of society, so we are passionate about creating a working environment in which you are free to bring your whole self to work.
