Cyber Security Lead
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Lead to provide strategic direction and operational leadership across an organisation’s information security landscape. This is an opportunity to shape security standards, strengthen resilience and support the safe delivery of technology-enabled services in a complex and evolving environment.
You will lead the development and implementation of cyber security strategy, policies, standards and controls, ensuring they remain aligned with business objectives, regulatory expectations and recognised industry frameworks. You will oversee risk assessments, security architecture, vulnerability management, penetration testing and assurance activities, while maintaining a clear view of the organisation’s cyber risk profile.
The role will involve leading the response to security incidents, coordinating investigations, supporting remediation and ensuring lessons learned are embedded into future controls. You will work closely with technology, risk, compliance, data protection and senior leadership teams, translating technical risks into clear business implications and practical recommendations. You will also manage relationships with external security partners and contribute to security awareness and training programmes.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security, information security or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of governance, risk and compliance. You will be confident working with security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS, and have practical knowledge of areas including identity and access management, cloud security, network protection, endpoint security and incident response.
Strong leadership, communication and influencing skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and explain complex matters to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent experience, would be advantageous.
This role offers the chance to make a measurable contribution to organisational resilience, develop a capable security culture and lead initiatives that protect critical systems, information and services. Flexible working arrangements and a supportive professional environment are available.
