About MSI
MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world’s leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose. From contraception to safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.
Today, our organisation has almost 9,000 team members working in 36 countries across the world. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centred care in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too. #
We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.
About the Role
We are looking for a highly motivated Security Engineer who wants to take their career to the next level and join our Global Information Services (GIS) Team. Reporting to the Lead Security Engineer, you will support ongoing security operations and respond to incidents and alerts, playing a vital role in helping to keep our environment secure as we deliver our mission around the world.

These initiatives are critical to helping ensure global security as we deliver our digital/technology strategy.
You will have a good understanding of security technologies and practices, ideally in Cloud computing, Azure and on-premise environments.

We seek exceptional communicators who are self-motivated, solutions-driven, and aligned with MSI’s mission and entrepreneurial mindset. You should be dedicated to driving social change in an environment focused on sustainable impact, both locally and globally, and comfortable working with diverse teams in an ambiguous setting.
To perform this role, you’ll need the following skills:

- Must be able to automate solutions using automation, ideally using PowerShell and PowerAutomate.
- Understanding of cloud, infrastructure and network security principles and the technologies used to secure them.
- Ability to manage and/or action security incident in a calm and methodical way, taking charge of the situation if required, managing and assigning tasks, to deal with the incident, collaborate on minimizing the impact, restoring affected services, and understanding/addressing root cause.
- A desire and ability to learn new technologies to support a period of change and adoption of new tools to harden security across MSI.
- Understanding of security principles, technologies and techniques used for proactive security of different technologies.
- Ability to work effectively with third-party suppliers and to clearly and concisely communicate with colleagues.
To perform this role, you’ll need the following experience:
