You will advise senior stakeholders, translate security risks into clear business decisions and ensure that appropriate controls are embedded across technology, projects, suppliers and day-to-day operations.

Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining the information security strategy, policies, standards and governance framework; leading security risk assessments and treatment plans; and monitoring compliance with relevant legislation, regulatory requirements and recognised industry standards. You will oversee vulnerability management, security assurance, incident response, threat management, identity and access controls, data protection and business continuity activities.

You will be an excellent communicator who can explain technical and regulatory matters clearly, demonstrate sound judgement under pressure and build effective relationships across technical and non-technical teams. The successful candidate will combine strategic thinking with a hands-on, pragmatic approach and a commitment to continuous improvement.
