We are seeking an experienced IT & Cyber Security Lead to provide strategic direction and operational leadership across information technology, cyber security, and technology risk. This role will be responsible for maintaining a secure, resilient, and effective technology environment, while supporting business objectives and continuous improvement. You will lead the development and implementation of cyber security strategies, policies, standards, and controls aligned with recognised frameworks and regulatory requirements.
Key responsibilities will include overseeing security operations, vulnerability management, incident response, identity and access management, endpoint protection, network security, and security monitoring. You will assess emerging threats, coordinate responses to cyber incidents, and ensure lessons learned are translated into improved controls and procedures. The role will also manage technology risk assessments, audit activity, penetration testing, disaster recovery planning, and third-party security reviews. You will work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to ensure that IT services remain reliable, compliant, and fit for purpose.

Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001, or equivalent would be advantageous. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to explain complex technical and security matters clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. You should be commercially aware, analytical, and confident making informed decisions in a changing threat landscape. Experience leading teams, managing suppliers, developing security awareness programmes, and delivering technology improvement projects will also be highly valued.
