Information Security Team Lead
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Team Lead to provide technical leadership and operational direction across a broad information security function. This role will lead a team of security professionals, coordinate day-to-day activities, and help strengthen the organisation’s security posture through effective governance, risk management, and continuous improvement. You will work closely with technology, operational, and business stakeholders to ensure security is embedded into projects, services, and business processes.
Key responsibilities will include leading and developing the information security team; setting priorities, managing workloads, and supporting professional growth; maintaining security policies, standards, and procedures; and overseeing risk assessments, control reviews, vulnerability management, and security improvement plans. You will coordinate the response to security incidents, ensuring issues are investigated, contained, documented, and escalated appropriately. The role will also contribute to security monitoring, threat assessment, audit activity, regulatory compliance, business continuity, and disaster recovery planning. You will provide clear reporting on security risks and performance to senior stakeholders and recommend practical, proportionate actions to reduce exposure.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information security, cyber security, or a closely related discipline, including experience leading or mentoring a technical team. You will have a strong understanding of security frameworks, risk management principles, incident response, identity and access management, vulnerability management, and security controls. Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, together with the ability to explain complex technical matters clearly to non-specialist audiences and influence decisions at all levels. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, or equivalent, are desirable. A proactive, analytical, and collaborative approach is required, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver effective outcomes in a changing environment.
