We are seeking an experienced Head of Cyber Security and Information Governance to lead the development and delivery of a robust, organisation-wide approach to cyber security, data protection and information assurance. This is a strategic leadership role, responsible for protecting sensitive information, strengthening resilience and ensuring that security and governance are embedded across people, processes and technology. You will provide expert advice to senior leaders and ensure that cyber and information risks are understood, managed and regularly reviewed.
You will define and maintain the cyber security and information governance strategy, policies, standards and assurance framework.
