Head of Department, Cyber & Information Resilience
We are seeking an experienced Head of Department, Cyber & Information Resilience to lead the development and delivery of a robust, organisation-wide approach to cybersecurity, information protection, operational resilience and business continuity. This senior role will provide strategic direction, assurance and expert advice to senior leadership, ensuring that critical services, information assets and technology environments remain secure, resilient and capable of withstanding evolving threats and disruption.
You will lead a multidisciplinary team and oversee the cybersecurity and information resilience framework, including governance, risk management, security architecture, identity and access management, vulnerability management, incident response, disaster recovery and continuity planning. You will establish effective policies, standards and controls, monitor compliance with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements, and maintain clear reporting on risk, resilience and control effectiveness. The role will also involve leading responses to significant cyber or operational incidents, coordinating exercises and testing, managing third-party and supply-chain risks, and promoting a strong culture of security and resilience across the organisation.
The successful candidate will bring substantial senior-level experience in cybersecurity, information assurance, operational resilience, business continuity or a closely related discipline. You will have a strong understanding of recognised security and resilience frameworks, risk-based governance, threat management and regulatory obligations, together with experience leading teams and influencing stakeholders at all levels. Excellent communication, judgement and crisis-management skills are essential, as is the ability to translate complex technical and security issues into clear business advice. Professional qualifications in cybersecurity, information security, risk, audit or business continuity are desirable. This is an opportunity to shape a mature resilience capability, strengthen organisational preparedness and make a visible contribution to the protection of essential services and information.
