IT Network & Security Manager

Location: Ashton-under-Lyne

We’re working with a large UK organisation that is strengthening its network and cyber security capability as part of a wider IT transformation programme.

They’re looking for an experienced Network & Security Manager to take ownership of network resilience, cyber risk, and incident response across a complex, multi-site environment.

This is a hands-on leadership role with real responsibility for security posture, supplier management, and continuous improvement.

What you’ll be doing

* Owning the organisation’s network and cyber security landscape, including risk management and incident response

* Leading and improving network architecture, security controls, and monitoring

* Working closely with internal IT teams, senior stakeholders, and third-party suppliers

* Driving security improvements in line with regulatory and compliance requirements

* Supporting delivery of a broader IT strategy focused on modernisation, flexibility, and resilience

What they’re looking for

* Strong experience across enterprise networks and cyber security

* Comfortable taking ownership of security risk and operational incidents

* Experience working with third-party suppliers and managed services

* Able to balance hands-on technical understanding with leadership and stakeholder engagement

This role would suit someone who enjoys improving environments, tightening controls, and making a tangible impact rather than inheriting a static setup.
