About the role

As a Security Engineering Manager, you will lead a squad within Detection Engineering, focusing on management, leadership, and delivering cyber defensive outcomes at Tesco. Your primary responsibility is to guide a team of security engineers in developing and implementing security controls that bolster our cyber defence to detect and support response to digital threats, while supporting and integrating with other teams across prevention, operations, and automation.

Your team specialises on Microsoft related security technologies, but also works closely with other technologies from Splunk, Databricks, and those related to deception operations.

Your objective is to safeguard our customers, suppliers, colleagues, networks, systems, applications, and information from cyber-attacks.

You will excel in enhancing security outcomes efficiently and cost-effectively, working with teams that possess a diverse range of skills, from hands-on technical expertise to architectural knowledge. Fostering a culture of innovation and curiosity within your team is essential to this role.

At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time together, face to face, than apart. So, during your working week, you can expect to spend 60% of your time in one of our office locations or local sites and the rest remotely. We also recognise that life looks a little different for each of us. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. That's why at Tesco, we always welcome a conversation about flexible working. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
