Project Security Manager
We are seeking an experienced Project Security Manager to lead security planning and delivery across complex projects from initiation through completion. The role will be responsible for establishing effective security strategies, ensuring that appropriate controls are embedded into project plans, and supporting teams to manage risks in line with applicable policies, standards, and regulatory requirements. You will work closely with project managers, technical specialists, suppliers, and senior stakeholders to ensure security is considered throughout the project lifecycle.
Key responsibilities will include conducting security risk assessments, defining security requirements, reviewing solution designs, and overseeing the implementation of proportionate physical, personnel, information, and cyber security measures. You will maintain security documentation, risk registers, assurance plans, and governance reports, while providing clear advice on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and compliance obligations. The role will also involve coordinating security testing and assurance activities, reviewing third-party and supply-chain risks, supporting incident response where required, and tracking remediation actions through to completion. You will facilitate security reviews and decision-making forums, challenge project assumptions constructively, and provide concise updates to governance boards and senior leadership.
Applicants should have proven experience managing security within large, complex, or highly regulated projects, along with a strong understanding of security risk management, assurance, governance, and control frameworks. Experience across cyber security, information security, operational resilience, or physical security would be valuable. You should be confident interpreting technical and business requirements, influencing stakeholders at all levels, and translating complex security matters into practical recommendations. Excellent communication, organisation, analytical, and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively in a changing environment. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications in security, risk, project management, or a related discipline are desirable.
