Job Title
Senior Security Operations Lead — Digital Networks
Job Description
Senior Security Operations / SME / Governance — Digital Networks
Role type: Senior individual contributor / hands-on subject-matter expert (with mentoring)
Experience: ~10–15 years in enterprise network security, with deep and current hands-on depth on Cisco Secure Firewall and at least one major proxy/SSE platform. Hands-on is non-negotiable, this is not a review-only role.
About the role
Deep technical authority for our firewall, proxy, and generic secure-access estate. You are the person who is hands-on in the consoles, scripts, and vendor APIs every week; the final escalation point when something hard breaks; and the one who keeps the estate audit-ready between incidents. You work in a patient-safety-first engineering culture: direct, plain-spoken, evidence over slideware. Profile mix: 55% Security Operations | 25% Hands-on Technical (incl. automation & AIOps) | 20% Governance, Risk & Compliance.
What you'll own:
Firewall estate — Cisco Secure Firewall (FTD / FMC / ASA / Firepower):



rule lifecycle and hygiene, HA, FMC upgrades and migrations, perimeter, and internal segmentation.
Proxy & web security — PAC file management at global scale (including China and other high-latency / restricted regions), proxy policy, SSL/TLS inspection.
Secure Service Edge / SASE — Zscaler (ZIA / ZPA) and Cisco Umbrella as the primary platforms. Exposure to Palo-Alto, Netskope or Cloudflare One is a plus.
Remote & site connectivity — IPSec / SSL VPN, AnyConnect / Secure Client, site-to-site (S2S), out-of-band management (OOBM), and partner access (S2S / VDI).
Identity & access — Cisco ISE / AAA.
Certificates & PKI — certificate lifecycle and expiry management, TLS, and closed-loop certificate automation.
Vulnerability & advisory response — PSIRT cadence, patching, and upgrade lifecycle across the estate.
Hands-on Technical:
Deep, current hands-on across the estate: Cisco FTD/FMC/ASA/Firepower, ISE, Cisco SS
