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 resilience. You will work closely with technology, compliance, and business stakeholders to ensure security is embedded into systems, services, and day-to-day decision-making.
Key responsibilities will include leading the development and implementation of the cyber security strategy, policies, standards, and control frameworks. You will oversee security risk assessments, vulnerability management, threat monitoring, incident response, and remediation activities, ensuring that issues are prioritised and resolved effectively. The role will also support security architecture reviews, identity and access management, data protection, third-party risk assessments, and secure technology delivery. You will coordinate responses to security incidents, lead post-incident reviews, and maintain effective plans for business continuity and disaster recovery. Regular reporting to senior stakeholders will be required, including clear updates on risk exposure, compliance, security performance, and improvement initiatives.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in cyber security leadership, ideally gained across infrastructure, cloud, applications, and enterprise technology environments. You should have a strong understanding of recognised security frameworks and regulations, as well as practical experience managing incidents, audits, penetration testing, and security improvement programmes. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent experience would be advantageous. Strong communication and influencing skills are essential, together with the ability to explain complex security matters clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive, analytical, and collaborative approach is expected, along with the confidence to challenge constructively and promote a strong culture of security awareness across the organisation.
