Information Security Governance Lead
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Governance Lead to strengthen and evolve the organisation’s information security governance framework. In this influential role, you will provide strategic direction, establish effective security policies and standards, and ensure that information security practices support business objectives while meeting regulatory, contractual and industry requirements. You will work closely with technology, risk, compliance, legal and operational teams to promote a consistent, risk-based approach to protecting information and technology assets.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining the information security governance framework; developing, reviewing and embedding policies, procedures and control requirements; and overseeing the implementation of security standards across the organisation. You will lead risk assessments, control reviews, compliance monitoring and remediation planning, ensuring that issues are clearly documented, prioritised and tracked through to resolution. You will also coordinate internal and external audits, support regulatory and customer assurance activities, and prepare clear reports, metrics and recommendations for senior leadership and relevant governance forums.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in information security governance, risk or compliance, ideally within a complex or regulated environment. You will have a strong understanding of recognised frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, COBIT or equivalent, together with practical experience developing policies, managing risk registers and assessing control effectiveness. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to translate technical and regulatory requirements into clear, practical actions. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISM, CISSP, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor, would be advantageous. You should be analytical, organised and confident influencing stakeholders at all levels while balancing security, operational needs and business priorities.
