Cyber Security Lead
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Lead to develop and strengthen security capabilities across a complex technology environment. This role will provide strategic direction and hands-on leadership across cyber security operations, governance, risk management, and assurance. You will work closely with technology, engineering, infrastructure, compliance, and business stakeholders to identify emerging threats, protect critical information assets, and ensure security is embedded throughout the organisation’s systems, processes, and change initiatives.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining and improving the cyber security strategy, policies, standards, and control framework; leading security risk assessments and remediation planning; and overseeing the monitoring, investigation, and response to security incidents. You will coordinate vulnerability management, penetration testing, security reviews, access controls, and third-party assurance activities. The role will also contribute to security architecture and the assessment of new technologies, ensuring that appropriate controls are designed and implemented from the outset. You will prepare clear reports and recommendations for senior stakeholders, track security performance against agreed measures, and support compliance with relevant legislation, regulatory expectations, and recognised security frameworks.
The successful candidate will have proven experience in a senior cyber security, information security, or security operations role, with a strong understanding of threat management, incident response, risk, governance, and technical controls. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or an equivalent qualification are desirable. You should be able to translate complex technical issues into practical business advice, influence stakeholders at all levels, and lead work effectively in a changing environment. Strong analytical, communication, prioritisation, and problem-solving skills are essential, together with a collaborative approach and a commitment to continuous improvement. Experience managing suppliers, security projects, and cross-functional teams would be advantageous.
