We are on a mission to pioneer the world’s next era of play. As we grow across Europe and Latin America, we’re building The Playstack - the technology powering the next generation of sports, gaming, and fan experiences. Join us, and help make it the most widely used platform in the world! From operations, to marketing, to product, we are looking for talented people who will shape how millions of customers play, watch, and connect every day.

Director of Security Operations

Super is looking for a

to define and own the strategy for how the entire organisation defends, sees, and responds to threats — across every business unit, country, and platform, in a genuinely adversarial environment with real financial motive behind the attacks we see. This is a leadership role reporting to the CISO, with an organisation-wide mandate to set the operating model, make the resourcing case to leadership, and be accountable for outcomes, with a mandate to implement and enforce controls rather than just recommend them. You'll build on a strong existing foundation — real coverage, a capable team, and a proven incident response track record — turning it into a strategic capability the rest of the business can build on.

What The Role Involves

Defences everywhere

  • Set the organisation's strategy for defensive controls (WAF, EDR, endpoint security, network segmentation, cloud-native controls) across every business unit and country, and make the investment case to leadership

Hold every part of the business accountable to a consistent bar for control effectiveness

Visibility everywhere

Define and drive "full visibility" as a company-wide standard across cloud, Kubernetes, endpoints and SaaS, identifying structural blind spots before they cause incidents

Fast, appropriate response

Own the strategy and operating model for detection engineering, threat hunting and incident response as one connected capability, setting the standard for response speed and severity handling

Organisational leadership

  • Lead a team spanning incident response, threat hunting and detection engineering, while setting standards for security and engineering functions company-wide

Represent security operations posture directly to executive leadership and the board, and drive resourcing and tooling decisions

Experience

What we are looking for

  • 10+ years in security operations, incident response, threat hunting or detection engineering, with a demonstrated track record setting strategy at director/senior-director level for a multi-country, multi-business-unit organisation, including getting resourcing decisions actioned by senior leadership

History of building the case for investment and having it land — able to quantify risk and translate it into decisions leadership acts on

Technical depth

  • Hands-on fluency with EDR (e.g. CrowdStrike, SentinelOne), SIEM and WAF platforms, sufficient to evaluate strategy and vendor decisions critically
  • Strong grounding in cloud-native security: AWS security services, Kubernetes/container security, CSPM/CWPP tooling (we run Wiz)
  • Deep incident response background: forensics, containment, IAM/credential response, with the credibility to step into a major incident and be trusted immediately by team and executive stakeholders
  • Working knowledge of detection engineering and threat intelligence integration

Familiarity with attack surface and exposure management at an organisational level

Leadership & communication

  • Comfortable owning a narrative in front of the board, not just briefing up to the CISO
  • Track record of hiring and developing senior technical talent, and of influencing security posture in teams and business units outside your own reporting line

Executive presence combined with enough technical credibility that your own team trusts your calls under pressure

Nice to have

Experience owning security operations in regulated or high-fraud-risk industries (gaming, fintech, payments)

What We Offer

  • Medical / Health Insurance
  • Open Annual Leave
  • Employee Assistance Programme

Training & Learning Development

Additional benefits vary by country and will be shared during the hiring process.
