Group Cyber Security Lead
We are seeking an experienced Group Cyber Security Lead to provide strategic direction and operational oversight across a complex, multi-site environment. This is a high-impact role responsible for strengthening the organisation’s cyber resilience, protecting critical information and technology assets, and ensuring that security is embedded into business and technology decision-making. You will work closely with senior stakeholders, technology teams, risk functions and external partners to establish a consistent, risk-based security approach across the group.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining the group cyber security strategy, policies, standards and control framework; leading security risk assessments and remediation planning; and overseeing vulnerability management, identity and access management, security monitoring, incident response and threat intelligence. You will coordinate the organisation’s response to cyber incidents, ensuring that issues are contained, investigated and communicated effectively. The role will also involve supporting security architecture and technology change, guiding secure cloud adoption, managing third-party security risk, and contributing to business continuity and disaster recovery planning.
You will provide clear reporting on security risk, compliance and performance to executive leadership and relevant governance forums, while promoting a strong culture of security awareness throughout the business. The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in cyber security leadership, information security governance, risk management and incident response, ideally gained within a complex or regulated environment. A strong understanding of recognised frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS is expected, along with experience managing security suppliers and leading cross-functional teams. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent, would be advantageous. You should be an influential communicator, pragmatic problem-solver and confident decision-maker who can translate technical risks into clear business priorities.
