Senior Information Security Officer
We are seeking a Senior Information Security Officer to lead and strengthen information security across a complex organisation. In this senior role, you will provide expert advice on security governance, risk management, regulatory compliance and the protection of information assets. You will work closely with technology, operational and business stakeholders to ensure that security is embedded into strategic planning, day-to-day operations and transformation initiatives.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining and improving information security policies, standards and procedures; identifying, assessing and treating information security risks; and overseeing security controls, assurance activities and compliance reviews. You will support the management of security incidents, coordinate investigations where required, and ensure that lessons learned are translated into practical improvements. The role will also involve contributing to business continuity and disaster recovery planning, supporting vulnerability and threat management, and providing clear reporting on the organisation’s security posture to senior leadership and relevant governance forums.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information security, cybersecurity, risk management or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of recognised security frameworks, data protection principles and relevant regulatory requirements. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor would be advantageous. You will bring excellent analytical, communication and influencing skills, with the ability to explain complex security issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive, collaborative and pragmatic approach is essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities, work independently and promote a positive culture of security awareness and accountability.
