We are seeking an experienced Head of Information Security to lead the development and delivery of a robust, enterprise-wide security strategy. This is a senior leadership role responsible for protecting information, technology, people and operations against evolving cyber threats while enabling secure business growth. You will establish security priorities, advise senior stakeholders on risk, and promote a strong culture of security across the organisation. The role will involve leading a skilled security function and working closely with technology, risk, legal, compliance and business teams.

Key responsibilities will include defining and maintaining the information security strategy, governance framework, policies and standards; overseeing security operations, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, identity and access management, incident response and security monitoring; and ensuring appropriate controls are implemented across infrastructure, applications, cloud services, suppliers and data. You will lead the organisation’s response to security incidents, coordinate investigations and lessons learned, and provide clear reporting on risk, control effectiveness and remediation progress. You will also manage security assessments, audits and regulatory requirements, support business continuity and disaster recovery planning, and oversee third-party security and supply-chain risk.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience leading information or cyber security in a complex environment, together with a strong understanding of recognised security frameworks, risk management principles, data protection requirements and current threat landscapes. Relevant professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent experience are desirable. You will be an effective communicator who can translate technical risks into practical business decisions, influence senior leaders and build collaborative relationships at all levels. Strategic thinking, sound judgement, resilience and a hands-on approach to problem solving are essential, as is the ability to lead, develop and motivate a high-performing team while continually improving the organisation’s security maturity.
