Our client, a global player in the Manufacturing Industry, is seeking a Cybersecurity Specialist for a permanent position. This hands-on role will own the day-to-day operation, tuning, and continuous improvement of security controls across identity, endpoints, cloud, email, network, and OT/product environments. The successful candidate will stabilize a complex environment and help prepare the organization for a transition from a traditional SIEM to an AI-driven monitoring platform.

Key Responsibilities:

Own day-to-day security operations across endpoints, identity, email, cloud, network, and OT/product environments, including XDR, MDM, and endpoint compliance.
Lead SIEM engineering and monitoring: ensure complete, reliable log ingestion; build and maintain detections and dashboards; and help drive the cutover to an AI-enabled SIEM platform.
Drive vulnerability and patch management end-to-end, coordinating scan cadence, remediation SLAs, and follow-up with IT and regional sites, and validating via rescans and metrics.
Operate and improve identity and access controls (IAM, MFA, PIM/PAM), maintaining secure baselines for privileged users, service accounts, and remote access.
Lead or coordinate incident response activities, maintaining IR runbooks, supporting on-call processes, and managing triage, containment, and recovery with clear communication to stakeholders.
Strengthen email security and anti-phishing controls, including policies, user reporting, and simulations, to reduce business risk.
Support OT and product security by inventorying assets and data flows, extending monitoring/EDR where feasible, and enabling secure integration with partners.
Automate operational tasks, hygiene, and reporting using PowerShell, KQL, Python, or similar, and publish regular metrics on security posture and control coverage.

Ideal Candidate Requirements:

3–7 years of experience in security engineering or operations with strong foundations in Microsoft-centric infrastructure (Windows, Active Directory/Azure AD, networking, identity management).
Hands-on experience operating multiple enterprise security technologies such as endpoint/XDR, SIEM platforms, IAM/PAM, MDM, vulnerability management, and network security controls.
Solid understanding of recognized security frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001) and the ability to produce audit-ready control evidence.
Proven incident response experience, comfortable owning triage, containment, and recovery with limited supervision and acting as a go-to resource when senior leadership is not available.
Proficiency in scripting and automation (e.g., PowerShell, KQL, Python) with an infrastructure-as-code mindset.
Experience supporting OT/industrial or distributed manufacturing environments is an asset.
Must have a valid driver’s license, access to a vehicle, and the ability to reliably commute to office at least 2 days per week.
Relevant security certifications are an asset (e.g., CISSP/CC, Microsoft SC-series, S1, GIAC blue-team/IR certifications).
