Security Solutions & Automation Lead (EMEA)

Location: Springtown, Northern Ireland (Hybrid Working Available)

Drive the Future of Security Operations Through Automation, AI & Innovation

Are you passionate about transforming business processes through automation, data intelligence, and AI-driven solutions?

We are seeking an ambitious and forward-thinking Security Solutions & Automation Lead to help modernise and optimise security operations across the EMEA region. This is a unique opportunity to lead digital transformation initiatives, leveraging Microsoft technologies, AI tools, and automation platforms to create smarter, more efficient ways of working.

This is not a traditional security management role. Instead, you'll act as a solutions-focused innovator, identifying opportunities to streamline processes, enhance visibility, improve decision-making, and drive operational excellence through technology.

What You'll Be Doing

• Identify manual, repetitive, or inefficient processes and develop automated solutions to improve operational performance.
• Design and implement workflow automation using Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft 365 applications, and related technologies.
• Apply a solutions architecture mindset to understand complex operational processes and design scalable improvements.
• Drive the evolution of the Regional Security Operations Centre (RSOC) through automation, analytics, and process optimisation.
• Develop insightful dashboards, reports, and KPI frameworks using Power BI.
• Analyse operational data to identify trends, risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across multiple countries and functions to prioritise transformation initiatives.
• Lead the implementation and adoption of new systems, tools, and ways of working.
• Manage projects and workstreams using platforms such as Smartsheet and Microsoft Project.
• Champion the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, including Microsoft Copilot, AI assistants, automation agents, and emerging digital tools to improve productivity and decision-making.
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and digital transformation.

• Strong problem-solving capabilities and systems-thinking approach.

Highly Desirable

• Demonstrable expertise in Microsoft Copilot and AI-powered productivity tools.
• Strong understanding of Artificial Intelligence applications within business operations.
• Experience deploying or working with AI agents, generative AI tools, machine learning applications, or intelligent automation solutions.
