Chief Information Security Officer
We are seeking an experienced Chief Information Security Officer to lead the development and delivery of an organisation-wide information security strategy. This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for protecting information, technology, people and services against evolving cyber threats, while enabling innovation and supporting business objectives.
You will provide clear direction on cyber security, information risk and resilience, working closely with senior stakeholders, technology teams, operational leaders and external partners. You will establish appropriate governance, policies, standards and controls, ensuring that security is embedded across programmes, products, suppliers and day-to-day operations.
Key responsibilities will include setting the cyber security strategy and roadmap; overseeing security architecture, vulnerability management, identity and access management, security operations and incident response; and ensuring the organisation is prepared to detect, contain and recover from security incidents. You will lead the assessment and treatment of information risks, monitor the effectiveness of controls, and provide regular reports and recommendations to executive and governance forums.
You will also oversee compliance with relevant legislation, regulatory expectations and recognised security frameworks. The role will involve managing third-party and supply-chain risks, contributing to business continuity and disaster recovery planning, and promoting a strong culture of security through awareness, education and practical guidance. You will manage budgets, resources and specialist suppliers, while building and developing a capable, collaborative security function.
Applicants should have substantial experience in senior information or cyber security leadership, ideally within a complex and highly regulated environment. You will bring strong knowledge of security governance, risk management, incident response, data protection, cloud security and modern threat landscapes. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent experience are desirable.
You will be an assured communicator who can explain complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strategic thinking, sound judgement, influencing skills and the ability to balance proportionate security with operational delivery are essential. A commitment to ethical leadership, continuous improvement and inclusive ways of working is also expected.
