5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Strategic Security Roadmap N/A N/A Provides input and recommendations on specific workstreams within the roadmap.
Security Tooling Selection N/A Suggests tools for specific tasks, with manager approval. Recommends and evaluates new tools for specific projects, with lead approval.
Incident Response Actions (Critical) N/A Follows pre-defined playbooks, escalates immediately. Leads incident response for specific workstreams, makes tactical decisions within established protocols.
Budget Allocation (Security) N/A N/A Manages project-specific budgets up to £5K, with Director approval for larger sums.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Protocol TVL Secured with Zero Major Incidents
The total value locked in protocols under your team's security purview, without any critical security breaches leading to significant financial loss.
Target · Secure >£500M in Total Value Locked (TVL) across all protocols with zero major security incidents (defined as >£1M loss or critical reputational damage) annually.

Over the last year, our Web3 protocols held £650M TVL, and we had no incidents resulting in over £500K loss or requiring a public post-mortem. That's the goal.

Security Program Maturity Improvement
The measurable improvement in our overall Web3 security posture, often benchmarked against industry frameworks or independent assessments.
Target · Improve the organisation's security score on a recognised framework like DeFi Safety or a similar internal maturity model by at least one full grade year-over-year.

Last year we were a 'B' on our internal security maturity scale; this year, we hit 'A-'. That shows real progress in our processes and tooling.

Financial Impact of Security Initiatives
The demonstrable financial benefits derived from enhanced security, such as reduced bug bounty payouts or lower cyber insurance premiums.
Target · Achieve a 20% reduction in average bug bounty payouts or a measurable decrease in cyber insurance premiums due to a demonstrably improved security posture within 18 months.

After implementing the new automated security pipeline, our average bug bounty payout dropped from £15K to £10K per critical finding, saving us £100K this year.

Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) for Critical Incidents
The average time it takes from the detection of a critical security incident to its full resolution and mitigation.
Target · Maintain an MTTR of less than 60 minutes for all critical (Severity 1) Web3 security incidents, from initial alert to full containment.

Our last critical incident, a suspected oracle manipulation, was detected and contained within 45 minutes, well within our target, thanks to the new automated response system.

Team Engagement & Retention
The overall health and stability of your security team, measured by retention rates and engagement scores.
Target · Maintain an annual team retention rate of >85% and achieve an average engagement score of >75% in internal surveys.

Our Web3 security team saw only one voluntary departure last year, and our latest engagement survey showed 88% of the team felt valued and challenged.

Executive & Board Trust
The level of confidence and reliance placed on your expertise and leadership by the executive team and Board of Directors.
  • You're consistently invited to present on Web3 risk to the Board. The C-Suite proactively seeks your input on strategic product launches or M&A activities involving decentralised tech. They trust your judgment on critical security trade-offs.
Regulatory & Compliance Excellence
Ensuring our Web3 operations meet or exceed evolving regulatory requirements, avoiding penalties or reputational damage.
  • We pass external regulatory audits with zero significant findings related to Web3 security. You're seen as a thought leader in navigating the complex regulatory landscape for decentralised finance, often briefing legal teams or external counsel.
Industry Thought Leadership & Influence
Your contribution to the broader Web3 security community, enhancing our company's reputation and attracting top talent.
  • You're regularly invited to speak at major Web3 security conferences, publish research or articles, or participate in industry working groups. We're seen as a leader in defining best practices, not just following them.
Strategic Security Roadmap Delivery
The successful planning and execution of long-term security initiatives that align with business objectives.
  • You consistently deliver on the strategic security roadmap, with key milestones (e.g., new tooling, major architectural changes, team expansion) met on time and within budget. The roadmap is clear, well-communicated, and demonstrably reduces risk.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Protecting Significant Value

You thrive on the immense responsibility of safeguarding hundreds of millions in digital assets. Every strategic decision, every policy you implement, directly contributes to preventing catastrophic financial loss and maintaining user trust.

You'll feel a deep sense of accomplishment knowing that the new cross-chain bridge security framework you championed prevented a potential £10M exploit, directly protecting our users' funds and our company's balance sheet.

Building a World-Class Team & Function

You're driven by the opportunity to recruit, mentor, and lead a diverse group of highly skilled security professionals, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous learning. You want to build 'the' Web3 security team that others look up to.

Seeing a junior engineer you hired and mentored grow into a lead auditor, or successfully defending a complex protocol because your team's processes were flawless, will be incredibly rewarding.

Shaping the Future of Secure Decentralisation

You're excited by the challenge of operating at the bleeding edge of technology and security. You want to contribute to the safe evolution of Web3, influencing industry standards and best practices.

Presenting our novel security architecture at an industry conference, or seeing our internal policies adopted as a community standard, will be a huge motivator for you.

What frustrates people
  • Having to explain, repeatedly, to executive leadership or the Board why a significant investment in security is absolutely critical, even when there hasn't been a recent breach. It's a constant battle against the 'security is a cost centre' mentality.
  • The immense, almost crushing, personal and organisational stress of knowing that a single, unforeseen vulnerability could lead to hundreds of millions in irreversible losses, and that ultimately, the buck stops with you.
  • Managing a critical incident response in the middle of the night, with the world watching, while simultaneously coordinating with legal, comms, and multiple engineering teams, all under extreme pressure.
  • Dealing with the constant, often unreasonable, demands from product teams to ship features faster, even when you're flagging significant security risks that need more time to address properly.
  • The frustration of watching other protocols get exploited due to a fundamental design flaw or poor operational security, knowing that similar risks exist across the ecosystem and you're in a constant race to patch them.
  • Recruiting and retaining top-tier Web3 security talent in a highly competitive market, especially when you're competing with well-funded DeFi projects offering eye-watering compensation.
  • Navigating the complex and often ambiguous regulatory landscape, trying to anticipate future requirements while operating in a space where rules are still being written.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable 9-to-5 work schedule. Web3 security is a 24/7 global challenge.
  • A role focused purely on hands-on coding or individual technical contributions. You'll be leading, strategising, and influencing, not just auditing.
  • An environment where security is always seen as the top priority. You'll often have to fight for resources and convince others of the importance of your work.
  • A static threat landscape. The attacks, technologies, and regulations are constantly changing, so if you crave stability, this isn't it.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts our entire Web3 business unit's financial stability, reputation, and ability to innovate safely. You're accountable for safeguarding assets worth millions, if not billions, of pounds, and for maintaining the trust of our users and investors. Frankly, without robust security leadership, our Web3 ambitions simply won't get off the ground.

  • Regulatory Bodies (e.g., FCA, international equivalents)
  • Major Exchange Partners
  • External Security Auditors & Bug Bounty Platforms
  • Industry Consortia & Standards Bodies

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A minimum of 16 years of progressive experience in cybersecurity, with at least 8-10 years specifically focused on Web3/blockchain security.
  • Proven experience leading and managing large, multi-disciplinary security teams (25+ individuals), including other managers.
  • Demonstrable experience in defining and executing enterprise-level security strategies for complex technical organisations.
  • A track record of successfully managing significant security budgets (£2M+).
  • Extensive experience in high-stakes incident response leadership, including managing communications with executive leadership and external parties.
  • Deep expertise in smart contract security, cryptography, and decentralised system architecture.
  • Strong understanding of regulatory and compliance requirements within the digital asset space.
