Information Security Leader
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Leader to define and advance the organisation’s security strategy, strengthen resilience, and protect critical information, systems, and services. This senior role will provide strategic direction across information security, cybersecurity, risk management, privacy, and business continuity, ensuring that security remains aligned with business priorities and evolving regulatory expectations. You will advise senior stakeholders, promote a strong security culture, and act as a trusted leader during incidents and periods of significant change.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining the information security strategy, policies, standards, and governance framework; overseeing risk assessments, vulnerability management, security assurance, and compliance activities; and ensuring effective monitoring, detection, response, and recovery capabilities. You will lead the development and testing of incident response and disaster recovery plans, manage relationships with internal and external partners, and provide clear reporting on security risks, performance, and improvement plans. The role will also involve guiding secure technology adoption, supporting audits, assessing third-party risks, and embedding security by design across projects, products, and operational processes. You will lead, mentor, and develop security professionals while influencing colleagues at all levels to adopt practical and proportionate security controls.
Applicants should have substantial experience leading information security or cybersecurity functions in a complex environment, together with a strong understanding of security frameworks, risk management principles, threat landscapes, and relevant legislation. Experience of developing security strategies, managing major incidents, engaging executive stakeholders, and delivering organisational change is essential. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent experience are desirable. You will combine sound technical knowledge with commercial awareness, excellent communication skills, and the ability to explain complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A collaborative, pragmatic, and ethical approach, along with strong decision-making and leadership capability, is essential.
