Chief Information Security Officer
We are seeking an experienced Chief Information Security Officer to lead the development and execution of an organisation-wide information security strategy. This senior role will provide strategic direction, strengthen cyber resilience, and ensure that security practices support business objectives while protecting sensitive information, systems, and services. You will act as a trusted adviser to executive leadership and the board, communicating complex security risks clearly and helping establish a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
Key responsibilities will include defining and maintaining the information security strategy, policies, standards, and governance framework; overseeing enterprise risk management, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and security monitoring; and leading the organisation’s incident response, crisis management, and business continuity capabilities. You will ensure compliance with applicable legislation, regulatory requirements, and recognised security frameworks, while managing internal and external audits. The role will also involve supervising third-party and supply-chain security, advising on technology and transformation initiatives, and ensuring that security is embedded throughout project delivery and operational change. You will lead, develop, and support security teams, manage budgets and resources, and build effective relationships with technology, legal, privacy, risk, compliance, and operational stakeholders.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in senior information security or cyber security leadership, preferably within a complex, highly regulated, or internationally distributed environment. You will have a strong understanding of security architecture, governance, risk, compliance, data protection, identity management, cloud security, and incident response. Relevant professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent experience are desirable. Excellent communication, influencing, and decision-making skills are essential, along with the ability to balance business needs and security priorities. A pragmatic, ethical, and collaborative leadership style will be highly valued.
