Head of Information Security (Deputy CISO)
We are seeking an experienced Head of Information Security (Deputy CISO) to support the development and delivery of a mature, enterprise-wide information security function. This is a senior leadership role responsible for strengthening security governance, managing cyber risk and helping ensure that security is embedded across business strategy, technology and day-to-day operations. You will act as a trusted adviser to senior stakeholders, providing clear guidance on emerging threats, regulatory expectations and appropriate risk treatment.
Key responsibilities will include leading the information security team and overseeing security operations, governance, risk and compliance, identity and access management, vulnerability management, incident response and security awareness. You will maintain and improve security policies, standards and control frameworks; coordinate risk assessments and audits; monitor security performance; and ensure that identified issues are prioritised and remediated. You will also support the development and testing of business continuity, disaster recovery and cyber incident response plans, taking a leading role during significant security events. Working closely with technology, legal, privacy, procurement and operational teams, you will help manage third-party risk and promote secure design throughout the organisation.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in information security leadership, cyber risk management and security governance, ideally within a complex or regulated environment. You should have strong knowledge of recognised security frameworks and relevant data protection and regulatory requirements, together with experience managing security programmes, suppliers and multidisciplinary teams. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent are desirable. Excellent communication and influencing skills are essential, as is the ability to translate technical issues into clear business risks and practical actions. A proactive, collaborative approach and the confidence to challenge constructively will be highly valued.
