Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
We are seeking an experienced Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to lead the development and execution of an enterprise-wide information security strategy. This senior role will provide strategic direction, strengthen organisational resilience, and ensure that security practices support business objectives, regulatory obligations, and evolving technology environments. The successful candidate will serve as a trusted adviser to executive leadership and key stakeholders, promoting a strong culture of security, risk awareness, and accountability across the organisation.
Responsibilities will include establishing and maintaining the information security governance framework, policies, standards, and control environment. You will oversee cyber risk management, security architecture, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, identity and access controls, data protection, and incident response. The role will lead the preparation, testing, and continuous improvement of business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities, while ensuring effective monitoring, investigation, and reporting of security events. You will also manage relationships with internal teams, technology partners, auditors, regulators, and other external stakeholders, providing clear reports on risk exposure, programme performance, and remediation priorities.
Applicants should bring substantial experience in information security leadership, cyber risk, governance, and regulatory compliance, ideally within a complex or highly regulated environment. A strong understanding of recognised security frameworks and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or equivalent, is expected, together with practical experience leading security transformation and responding to significant incidents. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent, are desirable. Excellent communication, influencing, and people leadership skills are essential, as is the ability to translate technical risk into clear business decisions. The successful candidate will be pragmatic, ethical, commercially aware, and comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels while building and developing high-performing security teams.
