Cyber Security Lead
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Lead to provide strategic direction and operational leadership across a broad information security landscape. You will be responsible for strengthening security maturity, protecting critical systems and data, and ensuring that cyber security risks are identified, assessed, and managed effectively. This role will work closely with technology, risk, compliance, and business stakeholders to embed secure practices across projects, services, and day-to-day operations.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining the cyber security strategy, policies, standards, and controls; leading security risk assessments and supporting risk treatment plans; overseeing vulnerability management, security monitoring, incident response, and threat intelligence activities; and coordinating investigations into suspected security events. You will provide expert advice on secure architecture, cloud services, applications, infrastructure, and third-party relationships. The role will also contribute to business continuity and disaster recovery planning, support audits and regulatory assessments, and ensure that security requirements are incorporated into change and delivery processes. You will monitor the effectiveness of controls, produce clear reports for senior stakeholders, and drive continual improvement through measurable security objectives.
To succeed, you will have substantial experience in cyber security, information security, or a related discipline, including experience leading security programmes, teams, or significant projects. Strong knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or comparable approaches is expected, along with practical understanding of identity and access management, network security, endpoint protection, cloud security, data protection, and incident management. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent, are desirable. You will be an effective communicator who can translate complex technical risks into clear business recommendations, influence stakeholders at all levels, and balance robust security with practical delivery. A proactive, analytical, and collaborative approach is essential.
