This role will work closely with senior stakeholders, operational teams and specialist security functions to strengthen resilience and support informed decision-making.

Key responsibilities will include maintaining sector-wide security risk registers, conducting risk assessments and scenario analysis, and advising on appropriate controls, mitigations and assurance activity.
