Shape Security in Montel’s Energy Tech Environment

At Montel, we believe security should help the business move faster and safer, not slow it down. We are looking for a Security Engineering Advisor who shares that view and can serve as the CISO's closest operational partner and the technical anchor in the security team.

You will work at the intersection of technical depth and cross-functional collaboration and will be discussing trade-offs with engineers, and risk and priorities with leaders. Montel is a growing company with an expanding product portfolio, and this role will be central to strengthening and scaling how we build and run secure products and platforms.

Key ResponsibilitiesOperational Direction & Follow-Through

  • Support execution of the CISO’s security roadmap across teams and platforms
  • Turn security direction into clear requirements, priorities, and action plans
  • Track delivery across security initiatives and drive closure of key actions
  • Identify and remove friction that slows down secure delivery
  • Promote risk-based decisions that balance security improvements with speed and operational reality

Engineering Advisory & Enablement

  • Act as a trusted sparring partner to engineers, developers, and product teams
  • Review designs and security controls, and support risk-based trade-offs and control selection
  • Support teams in adopting security-by-design practices in their day-to-day delivery
  • Run and mature the Security Champions programme across teams
  • Support security requirements for launches, platform changes, and major initiatives

Security Operations Support

  • Support vulnerability management by coordinating scans and pentests and follow-up with teams
  • Improve security logging and detection coverage in collaboration with the SOC
  • Translate Montel context and threat signals into actionable detection use cases
  • Strengthen incident readiness through playbooks, exercises, and lessons learned
  • Support incident response as a key technical advisor alongside the CISO and SOC

Governance, Evidence & Assurance

  • Support ISO 27001/ISMS work through control evidence and audit readiness
  • Help maintain clear, actionable policies and standards that teams can apply
  • Support risk and control documentation with practical, technical input
  • Contribute to third-party security reviews and supply-chain assurance on technical aspects
  • Support customer security assurance work

Automation & Continuous Improvement

  • Identify automation opportunities that reduce manual effort and improve consistency
  • Support adoption of security tooling and workflow improvements across teams
  • Support secure AI adoption by setting guardrails and advising teams on secure practices
  • Use AI-assisted approaches in security where they add real value and maintain quality
  • Promote measurable improvements through pragmatic metrics and continuous learning

What We Are Looking For

Experience:

  • 5+ years in information security, combining strong technical depth with advisory/consulting experience and a proven track record of improving security in SaaS environments (B2B)
  • Strong foundation in application security, cloud and infrastructure security (Azure/AWS), and experience working in or helping scale SaaS product environments
  • Hands-on familiarity with security tooling and practices, including SAST/DAST, SIEM/logging, vulnerability scanning, and IAM
  • Experience integrating security controls into CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps workflows, with a focus on outcomes that work for engineering teams
  • Working knowledge of ISO 27001, OWASP, NIST, and GDPR, with proven experience translating frameworks into risk-based, proportionate controls that work in practice
  • Ability to improve security workflows through light scripting, automation, and AI-assisted tooling
  • Relevant certifications are a plus, not a requirement (e.g., AZ-900, SC-900, MS-900, SC-200, SC-300, Security+)

Personal qualities:

  • You see security as a business enabler and help teams make good risk decisions without slowing down delivery
  • You communicate clearly with both engineers and leaders, translating security risks into practical, actionable guidance
  • You are curious about AI-powered security and motivated to find smarter, more scalable ways of working
  • You are self-driven, comfortable with broad responsibility in a lean team, and prioritise well under ambiguity
  • You stay calm under pressure and take accountability, escalating early when needed and keeping people aligned during incidents or high-risk changes
  • You build trust and influence without relying on formal authority. Teams actively seek you out for input

Why This Role

This is a unique opportunity to be at the heart of Montel’s security evolution. You will be the CISO’s primary operational partner, with a clear mandate and strong backing to shape how security is practised across the company. You’ll have real influence in a growing B2B SaaS environment, helping build security that scales without adding unnecessary friction.

You’ll join a trust-based culture with high autonomy, close collaboration, and a focus on continuous improvement, supported by a modern tech stack and an ambitious roadmap.

If you are energised by broad responsibility, thrive in a fast-moving SaaS environment, and want to help build something you can be genuinely proud of, we would love to hear from you.
