We are seeking an experienced Group CISO to lead the development and execution of an organisation-wide information security strategy. This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for protecting critical information, technology, and services across a complex, distributed environment. You will provide clear direction on cyber risk, resilience, governance, and assurance, ensuring security is embedded into business strategy, transformation programmes, and day-to-day operations.
Working closely with executive leadership, the board, technology teams, and business stakeholders, you will establish a proportionate security framework aligned with recognised industry standards and regulatory requirements. Key responsibilities will include setting security policies and standards; overseeing risk management, compliance, and audit activity; strengthening identity, data, infrastructure, application, and third-party security; and directing the organisation’s approach to incident response, business continuity, and cyber resilience. You will also lead the development of security metrics and reporting, ensuring senior stakeholders have clear visibility of the organisation’s risk profile and improvement priorities. The role includes oversight of security budgets, suppliers, managed services, and strategic programmes, as well as building effective relationships with external partners and relevant authorities.
You will bring substantial experience in a senior information or cyber security leadership position, ideally within a complex, regulated, or international environment. A strong understanding of current cyber threats, enterprise risk, cloud security, privacy, operational resilience, and security architecture is essential, together with experience leading security transformation and responding to major incidents. You should be an influential communicator who can translate technical risk into clear business outcomes, challenge constructively, and build trusted relationships at board and executive level. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, or equivalent experience, are desirable. The successful candidate will combine strategic vision with practical delivery, demonstrate sound judgement, and foster a positive culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
