An exciting opportunity is available for an Associate Director, OT & Cybersecurity to lead the development and delivery of a robust operational technology security programme. This senior role will be responsible for protecting industrial control systems, connected infrastructure, and critical operational environments against evolving cyber threats, while supporting safe, reliable, and efficient business operations. You will provide strategic direction, build strong relationships with technical and operational stakeholders, and ensure cybersecurity is embedded across the full OT lifecycle.
Key responsibilities will include defining and implementing the OT cybersecurity strategy, governance framework, policies, standards, and risk management approach. You will oversee the identification and remediation of vulnerabilities, security monitoring, incident response, threat intelligence, access controls, network segmentation, asset visibility, and third-party risk. The role will also lead security assessments, audit and regulatory activity, resilience planning, and the development of business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities for critical environments.

You will be an influential leader with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to translate complex technical issues into clear business priorities. A proactive, collaborative approach, strong commercial judgement, and the ability to lead transformation in a safety-conscious environment are essential. Professional cybersecurity or technical qualifications would be advantageous.
