Information Security Leader
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Leader to define and deliver a comprehensive security strategy across a complex, technology-enabled organisation. This role will provide strategic direction, leadership and assurance across information security, cyber risk, governance, data protection and business resilience. You will work closely with senior stakeholders, technology teams and operational leaders to ensure security is embedded into business planning, product development, infrastructure and day-to-day operations.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining the information security strategy, policies, standards and control framework; overseeing security risk assessments and treatment plans; and providing clear reporting on the organisation’s security posture, key risks and improvement priorities. You will lead the response to security incidents, coordinate investigations and ensure lessons learned are translated into practical improvements. The role will also oversee vulnerability management, identity and access controls, security monitoring, third-party risk, assurance activities and the delivery of security awareness and training programmes. You will support compliance with relevant legal, regulatory and industry requirements, while ensuring that security controls remain proportionate, effective and aligned with business objectives.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in information security or cyber security leadership, with a strong understanding of governance, risk management, security architecture, incident response and operational resilience. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent experience are desirable. You will be an effective communicator who can influence at executive level, translate technical risks into business language and build strong relationships across a wide range of stakeholders. A pragmatic, collaborative and improvement-focused approach is essential, together with the ability to prioritise effectively, lead through change and develop high-performing security teams. Experience managing budgets, suppliers and external partners, as well as working with recognised security frameworks such as ISO 27001 or NIST, would be advantageous.
