We are seeking an experienced Senior Cybersecurity Lead to provide strategic direction and hands-on leadership across a broad information security programme. The successful candidate will define and maintain a security roadmap aligned with business objectives, regulatory obligations, and recognised industry standards. This role will lead the development of security policies, procedures, and controls while promoting a strong culture of cyber resilience across the organisation.
Key responsibilities will include overseeing threat detection, vulnerability management, incident response, identity and access management, security monitoring, and risk assessment activities. You will coordinate the investigation and resolution of security incidents, lead post-incident reviews, and ensure that corrective actions are implemented effectively. The role will also involve managing penetration testing, security audits, third-party risk reviews, and compliance assessments. You will work closely with technology, legal, privacy, and business stakeholders to embed security into projects, products, and operational processes, while providing clear reporting on risk, performance, and emerging threats to senior leadership.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cybersecurity leadership, security architecture, governance, risk management, and incident response, together with a strong understanding of cloud environments, networks, endpoint security, application security, and data protection principles. Experience developing and mentoring security professionals, managing external partners, and influencing stakeholders at all levels is essential. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent professional experience are desirable. You will be an analytical and confident communicator, capable of translating complex technical risks into practical business recommendations. A proactive approach, sound judgement, and a commitment to continuous improvement are key to succeeding in this position.
