Senior Information Security Officer
We are seeking an experienced Senior Information Security Officer to lead and strengthen information security practices across a complex organisation. The successful candidate will provide expert advice on security governance, risk management, compliance, and operational resilience, ensuring that information assets, systems, and services are protected against evolving threats. This role will work closely with technology, legal, risk, audit, and business stakeholders to embed effective security controls and promote a strong culture of security awareness.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining and improving information security policies, standards, procedures, and control frameworks; identifying, assessing, and managing information and cyber security risks; and supporting the implementation of appropriate mitigation plans. You will coordinate security assessments, audits, assurance activities, and compliance reporting, while monitoring changes in legislation, regulations, and industry standards. The role will also contribute to incident response, investigation, and post-incident reviews, as well as business continuity and disaster recovery planning. You will provide guidance on secure architecture, cloud services, access management, data protection, vulnerability management, and the secure delivery of projects and change initiatives.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information or cyber security, with a strong understanding of recognised security frameworks, risk methodologies, and relevant data protection requirements. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001, or equivalent experience are desirable. You will need excellent analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive, collaborative, and pragmatic approach is essential, together with the confidence to influence senior colleagues and deliver measurable improvements in security maturity. The role offers the opportunity to shape security strategy, support organisational resilience, and make a meaningful contribution to the protection of critical information and services.
