This is a senior leadership role responsible for protecting information, systems, applications and services from evolving cyber threats while enabling innovation and business growth. You will provide clear direction on security priorities, build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, and ensure that security is embedded into technology, operational and business decision-making.

Key responsibilities will include defining and maintaining the cyber security strategy, policies, standards and governance framework; overseeing security operations, threat monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response and security testing; and ensuring effective protection of cloud, network, endpoint, identity and data environments. You will lead the organisation’s approach to risk assessment, regulatory compliance, audit activity, business continuity and disaster recovery.

Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent would be advantageous. We are looking for a collaborative, decisive and commercially minded leader with excellent communication skills, sound judgement and a demonstrable record of delivering measurable improvements in cyber resilience.
