Innovation Lead - Cyber, London
We are seeking an Innovation Lead to shape and deliver forward-thinking cyber security initiatives in London. This role will identify emerging technologies, market trends and evolving threat landscapes, translating them into practical opportunities that strengthen resilience and create measurable value. You will work across technology, risk, operations and business teams to develop an innovation pipeline, prioritise ideas and guide them from initial concept through to pilot, evaluation and implementation.
You will lead research into areas such as artificial intelligence, automation, cloud security, identity, data protection, threat intelligence and secure-by-design practices. Responsibilities will include facilitating workshops, defining use cases, building business cases, managing proof-of-concepts and establishing success measures. You will engage with internal stakeholders, technology partners, start-ups, academic communities and industry networks to assess new capabilities and ensure solutions are relevant, secure, scalable and aligned with regulatory expectations. You will also present recommendations to senior audiences and communicate complex cyber security topics clearly to both technical and non-technical colleagues.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in cyber security, technology innovation, digital transformation or a related field, together with a strong understanding of current and emerging security risks. You will be comfortable operating strategically while remaining able to challenge assumptions, test ideas and support practical delivery. Experience of leading cross-functional programmes, managing third-party relationships and taking concepts through governance and implementation would be highly valuable. Strong stakeholder management, analytical, presentation and written communication skills are essential, as is the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-changing environment. Relevant professional qualifications in cyber security, technology, risk or innovation are advantageous. This is an opportunity to influence the future direction of cyber security and help turn emerging ideas into secure, effective and sustainable outcomes.
