Information Security Manager (12 month fixed-term maternity cover)
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Manager for a 12-month fixed-term maternity cover appointment. This is an important role responsible for maintaining and strengthening the organisation’s information security framework, ensuring that appropriate controls, policies and processes are in place to protect information assets, systems and services. You will work closely with colleagues across technology, risk, compliance and business teams to promote a strong, practical and collaborative security culture.
Your responsibilities will include managing the information security management system; reviewing and maintaining security policies, standards and procedures; coordinating risk assessments and treatment plans; and monitoring compliance with relevant legal, regulatory and industry requirements. You will oversee vulnerability management, security testing, access controls, incident response and information security awareness activities. The role will also involve supporting business continuity and disaster recovery planning, managing security-related suppliers, preparing reports for senior stakeholders, and tracking remedial actions through to completion. You will provide informed advice on security risks associated with projects, technology changes and third-party relationships.
We are looking for a confident security professional with proven experience in an information security management role, ideally within a regulated, complex or technology-driven environment. You should have a strong understanding of recognised security frameworks and standards, risk management, incident handling, data protection and security governance. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications are desirable. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to explain technical risks clearly to non-technical audiences and influence decisions at all levels. You will be organised, pragmatic and capable of working independently while managing competing priorities. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution during a period of cover, supporting effective security practices and helping to ensure resilience across the organisation.
