Senior Security Governance Manager
We are seeking an experienced Senior Security Governance Manager to lead the development, implementation and continuous improvement of the organisation’s information security governance framework. This role will provide strategic direction and practical oversight across security policies, standards, controls and assurance activities, helping ensure that security risks are identified, managed and reported effectively. You will work closely with senior leaders, technology teams, risk and compliance functions, internal audit and business stakeholders to embed strong security practices across the organisation.
Key responsibilities will include owning and maintaining security governance policies, procedures and control frameworks; coordinating risk assessments, control reviews and audit activities; monitoring compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, contractual obligations and recognised security standards; and preparing clear reports, metrics and recommendations for senior management and governance committees. You will lead the tracking and remediation of security findings, support third-party and supply-chain assurance, contribute to incident and crisis management exercises, and promote security awareness and accountability throughout the business. The role will also involve identifying opportunities to improve governance processes, strengthen control effectiveness and mature the organisation’s overall security posture.
To succeed, you will have significant experience in information security governance, risk or compliance, ideally within a complex, highly regulated or multi-site environment. You should have a strong understanding of frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls or equivalent, together with experience developing policies, managing audits and presenting security risk information to senior stakeholders. Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to translate technical and regulatory requirements into practical business outcomes. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISM, CISSP, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor, are desirable. You will be organised, analytical and confident working independently while providing effective leadership across multiple priorities.
