OT Security Advisory & Transformation Director
We are seeking an experienced OT Security Advisory & Transformation Director to shape and lead the development of operational technology security across a complex, highly regulated environment. This senior role will provide strategic direction, trusted advice and practical leadership to strengthen the resilience of industrial control systems, connected assets and critical operational processes.
You will define and deliver a clear OT security transformation roadmap, aligning priorities with business objectives, operational risk and relevant regulatory requirements. Working closely with technology, engineering, operations, risk, compliance and executive stakeholders, you will establish effective governance, policies, standards and assurance practices. You will also support investment planning, prioritise remediation activity and communicate security risks and progress at board and senior leadership level.
Key responsibilities will include leading OT security assessments, advising on architecture and secure-by-design principles, improving asset visibility and vulnerability management, and overseeing the development of incident response, monitoring and resilience capabilities. You will help embed consistent approaches across sites and business units, guide the selection and implementation of appropriate security technologies, and ensure that third-party and supply-chain risks are effectively managed. The role will also involve mentoring specialists, influencing senior stakeholders and building a strong culture of security awareness across operational teams.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in OT, industrial control systems, operational resilience or critical infrastructure security, together with a strong understanding of IT and OT convergence. You will have a proven record of leading enterprise-wide transformation or advisory programmes and be confident working with senior stakeholders in complex organisations. Knowledge of recognised OT security frameworks and standards, such as IEC 62443, NIST, ISO 27001 or the NIS Regulations, is desirable.
Strategic thinking, commercial awareness and excellent communication skills are essential. You will be able to translate technical and cyber security issues into clear business implications, balance security with operational requirements and deliver through influence in a distributed environment. Relevant professional qualifications in cyber security, risk, engineering or a related discipline would be advantageous.
