The benefits and package will be in line with the entity in your location. Your Talent Partner will discuss this in further detail.** Locations: Cluj-Napoca/ Leeds/ Dublin **Role Overview :** The Head of Security Operations and Engineering is responsible for protecting the organization through the design, build, and operation of scalable, resilient, and intelligence-driven security capabilities. This role leads the teams that detect, respond to, and prevent security threats while also engineering the platforms, tools, and automation that underpin those capabilities. Sitting at the intersection of strategy and execution, the role ensures that security operations are not only effective in responding to incidents, but continuously improving through engineering excellence, threat intelligence, and data-driven decision-making. It combines real-time defense (e.g., monitoring, detection, incident response) with long-term capability building (e.g., tooling, automation, detection engineering, and platform integration) leaning into the opportunity of Agentic AI for faster analysis, detection & response. The Head of Security Operations and Engineering partners closely with Security Architecture, Threat Intelligence, Engagement and Engineering teams to ensure that controls are operationalized, detections are meaningful, and response processes are efficient and repeatable. A key focus is reducing mean time to detect and respond (MTTD/MTTR), increasing visibility across the environment, and ensuring the organization can effectively defend against evolving threats. The role is accountable for ensuring that security operations are proactive, intelligence-led, and tightly integrated with engineering—moving the organization from reactive defense to a mature, adaptive AI-enabled security posture. **Key Accountabilities & Responsibiliti
