Questions about these roles
How many lead and principal Cybersecurity jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 62 live vacancies across 42 source domains. The crawler revisits public careers and vacancy pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.
What do lead and principal Cybersecurity jobs in the UK pay?
The median advertised annual salary midpoint is £70,000, based on the 5 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £37,000 to £75,000. Day and hourly rates are kept out of this annual-salary benchmark.
Can these roles be done remotely?
64% are advertised as fully remote and 36% as hybrid. Based on 11 roles that state an arrangement; 51 unknowns are excluded.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
Every role here that states a basis is permanent. Contract vacancies are listed separately.
Which sources list the most roles?
The most active source labels right now are Intercastglobal, Arbuthnotlatham, Spirituk, Spektrum and Nhbc. Every vacancy links to its public source page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company.
How much does a cybersecurity specialist earn in the UK?
£70,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 59% above the £43,900 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the midpoint of each advertised annual range rather than an offer: 57 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.
Can you work from home as a cybersecurity specialist in the UK?
11 of the 62 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 7 fully remote and 4 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate cybersecurity specialist jobs in the UK?
Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Security Architect, lead security engineer, Information Security Manager, Security Operations Manager and Cybersecurity Manager. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
