Cyber Security Program Leader
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Program Leader to oversee the planning, delivery and continuous improvement of enterprise-wide cyber security initiatives. This role will provide strategic direction across multiple workstreams, ensuring that security programmes are aligned with business priorities, regulatory expectations and recognised industry frameworks. You will work closely with technology, risk, legal, compliance and operational teams to strengthen organisational resilience and protect critical information, systems and services.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining a prioritised cyber security roadmap; managing programme scope, budgets, milestones, dependencies and risks; and establishing effective governance, reporting and assurance processes. You will coordinate initiatives across areas such as security architecture, identity and access management, vulnerability management, threat detection and response, cloud security, data protection, third-party risk and business continuity. The role will also involve tracking benefits and outcomes, preparing clear updates for senior stakeholders, supporting audit and regulatory activities, and promoting a culture of security awareness and accountability throughout the organisation.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience leading complex cyber security or technology risk programmes in a large, regulated or otherwise highly structured environment. You will bring strong knowledge of security principles, risk management practices and frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001 or CIS Controls, together with a proven ability to translate technical issues into clear business decisions. Excellent stakeholder management, communication, planning and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to influence without direct authority and manage competing priorities effectively. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, PMP, PRINCE2 or equivalent experience are desirable. A proactive, collaborative and outcome-focused approach will be highly valued.
