Cyber Security Lead
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Lead to provide strategic direction and operational leadership across the organisation’s information security landscape. This role will be responsible for protecting systems, data, applications and infrastructure against evolving cyber threats, while ensuring security is embedded into business and technology initiatives. You will lead the development, implementation and continuous improvement of security policies, standards, controls and processes in line with recognised frameworks and regulatory requirements.
Key responsibilities include managing security risk assessments, vulnerability management, incident response, threat monitoring and security assurance activities. You will coordinate investigations into security incidents, oversee remediation plans and ensure lessons learned are translated into preventative improvements. The role will also involve leading penetration testing, audit preparation and compliance reviews, as well as supporting secure architecture, identity and access management, cloud security and third-party risk management. You will work closely with technology, governance, legal and operational teams to provide clear, practical security advice and communicate risk to senior stakeholders. In addition, you will help develop security awareness initiatives and contribute to a culture of shared responsibility for cyber security.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cyber security, information security or a closely related discipline, including experience leading security programmes or specialist teams. A strong understanding of security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS Controls is required, together with practical knowledge of incident management, risk assessment, vulnerability remediation, security operations and relevant data protection obligations. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent are desirable. You will be an analytical and confident communicator who can influence at all levels, manage competing priorities and make sound decisions in a fast-changing environment. A proactive approach, strong attention to detail and the ability to translate complex technical issues into clear business recommendations are essential.
