Senior Information and Cyber Security Officer
We are seeking a Senior Information and Cyber Security Officer to lead and support the development, implementation and continuous improvement of information security across a complex organisation. This is an influential role for an experienced security professional who can translate strategic objectives and emerging cyber threats into practical, proportionate controls. You will work with stakeholders at all levels to strengthen security culture, protect sensitive information and support the delivery of secure services.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining and improving information security policies, standards, procedures and governance arrangements; coordinating risk assessments, control reviews and assurance activities; and monitoring compliance with relevant legislation, regulatory requirements and recognised security frameworks. You will provide expert advice on security architecture, access management, vulnerability management, incident response, business continuity and secure technology change. The role will also involve investigating and managing security incidents, supporting remediation plans, producing clear reports for senior leaders, and contributing to security awareness and training programmes. You may lead or support audits, penetration testing, third-party assurance reviews and cyber resilience exercises.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information or cyber security, with a strong understanding of security risk management, governance, incident handling and control frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or equivalent experience, are desirable. You will need excellent analytical, communication and influencing skills, together with the ability to explain technical risks clearly to non-technical audiences and build effective relationships across multiple teams. A pragmatic, collaborative approach, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. This is an opportunity to make a significant contribution to organisational resilience while helping shape a proactive and continually improving security environment.
