Information Security Lead
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Lead to develop, maintain and continuously improve the organisation’s information security strategy. This role will provide technical leadership and practical guidance across security governance, risk management, compliance and operational resilience. 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. The role will also contribute to business continuity and disaster recovery planning, security awareness programmes, secure architecture reviews and the development of appropriate metrics and management reporting.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in information security, cyber risk or a related discipline, with a strong understanding of security frameworks and best practice such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS Controls. You should be confident assessing technical and business risks, translating complex security matters for non-technical audiences and influencing stakeholders at all levels. Experience leading security improvement programmes, managing suppliers and supporting incident investigations is desirable. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Auditor, would be advantageous. 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.
