Commercial Security and Information Assurance Lead
We are seeking an experienced Commercial Security and Information Assurance Lead to provide strategic direction and practical leadership across commercial security, information assurance and risk management. This is an influential role responsible for protecting sensitive information, strengthening security practices and ensuring that commercial activity supports regulatory, contractual and organisational requirements.
You will lead the development, implementation and continual improvement of security and information assurance frameworks, policies and processes. Working with colleagues across procurement, legal, technology, operations and senior leadership, you will assess risks, define appropriate controls and provide clear, proportionate advice throughout the commercial lifecycle. You will also support security input to tenders, contracts, supplier due diligence, assurance reviews and ongoing relationship management.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining security standards and governance arrangements; overseeing information assurance activities and risk registers; reviewing supplier security obligations and performance; supporting incident response and remediation; and preparing concise reports, briefings and recommendations for senior stakeholders. You will promote a strong security culture by developing guidance, delivering awareness activities and ensuring that relevant teams understand their responsibilities.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in commercial security, information assurance, supplier assurance, governance or a closely related field. You will be confident interpreting security requirements, assessing risk and translating technical or regulatory matters into clear commercial advice. Experience of working with recognised security and information assurance frameworks, data protection requirements, contractual controls and third-party risk management is essential.
You should be an effective communicator and relationship builder, capable of influencing stakeholders at all levels while maintaining sound professional judgement and attention to detail. The ability to manage competing priorities, work independently and deliver practical outcomes in a changing environment is important. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications in information security, risk, audit, data protection or commercial management would be advantageous.
