Cyber Security Manager

I'm working on a Cyber Security Manager search for a Dubai-based business and I'm keen to speak with strong infrastructure security professionals.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'd own the security strategy and roadmap, but you'd also be deep in the technical detail day to day. If you like sitting in a strategy conversation in the morning and hardening infrastructure in the afternoon, this is built for you.

What the role covers:

• Shaping and executing the security strategy and roadmap, aligned to the wider business goals
• Securing IT infrastructure end to end: cloud, on-prem, networks, and endpoints
• Owning the security tooling stack (firewalls, SIEM, IDS/IPS, EDR/XDR, VPNs)
• Threat intelligence, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and risk management
• Incident response, root cause analysis, and business continuity / disaster recovery
• Cloud security across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, plus IAM (MFA, SSO, access controls)
• Driving compliance against frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and PCI DSS
• Running security awareness across technical and non-technical teams

What I'm looking for:

• 5+ years in cyber security with a genuine infrastructure security background
• Solid grip on security frameworks (NIST, CIS, ISO 27001) and best practice
• Hands-on with the core tooling and comfortable across cloud and on-prem
• Strong on risk management and incident response
• Scripting / automation exposure (Python, Bash, PowerShell) is a plus
• CISSP, CISM, CEH, or Security+ welcomed
• Clear communicator who can translate security for a non-technical audience

Based in Dubai or open to relocating to the UAE.

If this is you, or you know someone strong, drop a comment or send me a DM and I'll share more.
