Associate Director, OT & Cybersecurity

Reference: u2ke5rcqalquxc13kxaz

We are seeking an experienced Associate Director, OT & Cybersecurity to lead the development and delivery of a robust security strategy across operational technology (OT), industrial control systems, and connected infrastructure. This role will provide strategic direction, technical leadership, and governance to protect critical environments while supporting safe, reliable, and efficient operations. You will work closely with senior stakeholders across technology, engineering, operations, risk, compliance, and supply chain functions to establish a consistent and risk-based approach to OT security.

Key responsibilities will include defining and maintaining the OT cybersecurity roadmap, policies, standards, and control framework; overseeing threat, vulnerability, and risk assessments across industrial environments; and ensuring appropriate monitoring, incident response, recovery, and business continuity capabilities are in place. You will lead the implementation of secure architecture principles, network segmentation, identity and access controls, asset management, security monitoring, and vulnerability remediation programmes. The role will also manage third-party and supply-chain security requirements, support audits and regulatory obligations, and provide expert guidance during the design, deployment, and lifecycle management of OT systems.

The successful candidate will bring significant experience in OT, industrial cybersecurity, critical infrastructure security, or a closely related field, together with a strong understanding of control systems, industrial networks, and common security frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIST, and ISO 27001. Experience leading cybersecurity programmes, managing risk across complex operational environments, and influencing stakeholders at all levels is essential. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC, or an OT-specific qualification, would be advantageous. Strong communication, leadership, analytical, and problem-solving skills are required, along with the ability to balance security priorities with operational safety, availability, and business objectives.
