Director of Cyber Risk & Governance
We are seeking an experienced Director of Cyber Risk & Governance to lead the development and delivery of an enterprise-wide cyber risk and governance framework. This senior leadership role will provide strategic direction on cybersecurity risk management, regulatory compliance, policy, control assurance and security governance across a complex organisation. You will work closely with executive stakeholders, technology leaders, risk teams and business functions to strengthen cyber resilience and ensure that security risks are understood, managed and reported effectively.
Key responsibilities will include setting the cyber risk and governance strategy; maintaining policies, standards and control frameworks; overseeing risk identification, assessment, treatment and acceptance; and establishing clear reporting for senior leadership and relevant governance committees. You will lead the ongoing assessment of security controls, third-party and supply-chain risks, regulatory obligations and emerging threats. The role will also oversee governance processes relating to security architecture, vulnerability management, incident readiness, data protection and business continuity, ensuring that assurance activities are coordinated and translated into measurable improvements.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in cyber risk, information security governance, technology risk or a related discipline, gained in a large or highly regulated environment. You will have a strong understanding of recognised security and risk frameworks, regulatory expectations, audit practices and control assurance methodologies, together with the ability to translate complex technical matters into clear business language. Strong influencing, stakeholder management and communication skills are essential, as is experience leading high-performing teams and delivering change across multiple functions. Relevant professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT or equivalent are desirable. This is an opportunity to shape a mature, risk-informed security culture and make a meaningful contribution to organisational resilience.
