We have an exciting opportunity for a Security Platform Lead to join our Enterprise Platforms team in a full time permanent role.

About the Team

Our Enterprise Platforms team contributes to the delivery of our strategic goals by ensuring we have a modern and efficient workplace that keeps our people connected, and by delivering evergreen technology infrastructure platforms and services that are scalable, secure and fit for purpose.
