• Lead security operations including threat monitoring, alert triage, SOC coordination, incident response, and root cause analysis — ensuring incidents are assessed, prioritised, and remediated in line with EQT procedures
• Drive the vulnerability management process from discovery and risk-based prioritisation through to remediation coordination, exception tracking, and executive reporting
• Translate security policy, technology risk, and regulatory expectations into practical, scalable technical control requirements — partnering closely with Infrastructure, Architecture, and Technology Risk Governance
• Ensure audit readiness across all cyber security controls, supporting internal and external audits, penetration testing, due diligence, and regulator-aligned reviews
• - Lead supplier cyber assurance and third-party cyber risk management activities, including cyber due diligence, control assessments, remediation management, ongoing monitoring and supplier engagement.

• Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and develop a team, with strong influencing skills and the ability to communicate complex security issues to technical and non-technical audiences alike
• A tertiary qualification in Information Technology, Cyber Security, or equivalent industry experience; certifications such as CISSP, CISM, SC-100/200/300/400, or equivalent are highly regarded
