You will work closely with technology, data, legal, procurement and business stakeholders to ensure that security is embedded into projects, systems, processes and day-to-day operations.

Key responsibilities will include owning and evolving information security policies, standards and procedures; maintaining the information security risk register; leading security assessments and control reviews; and coordinating responses to audits, incidents and regulatory requirements. You will oversee vulnerability management, security monitoring, access control, third-party assurance and incident response activities, ensuring that issues are prioritised and resolved effectively.

We are looking for someone analytical, collaborative and pragmatic, who can balance effective risk management with business needs and take ownership in a changing environment.
