Chief Information Security Officer

Reference: gg41eqwwzdz5h33ft0q6

We are seeking an accomplished Chief Information Security Officer to lead the development and execution of a comprehensive information security strategy. This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for protecting information assets, technology platforms and business operations against evolving cyber threats, while enabling secure growth and innovation.

You will establish security priorities aligned with organisational objectives, regulatory obligations and industry good practice. Working closely with executive leadership and key stakeholders, you will provide clear advice on cyber risk, resilience and investment, ensuring that security considerations are embedded into strategic and operational decision-making.

Key responsibilities will include overseeing security governance, policies, standards and assurance frameworks; maintaining an effective risk management programme; and leading the identification, assessment and treatment of information and technology risks. You will direct incident response and crisis management activities, ensuring that threats are detected, contained and investigated effectively. You will also oversee vulnerability management, security architecture, identity and access management, third-party risk and business continuity arrangements.

The role will involve leading and developing a high-performing security function, promoting accountability and strengthening security awareness across the workforce. You will manage relationships with regulators, auditors, suppliers and specialist security partners, and provide regular reporting to senior governance forums. A key focus will be building a resilient, proportionate and risk-based security culture across the organisation.

Applicants should bring substantial experience in senior information or cyber security leadership, ideally gained in a complex, highly regulated or digitally enabled environment. You will have a strong understanding of recognised security frameworks, data protection requirements, cyber threat landscapes and incident management practices. Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to translate technical risk into clear business language.

Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent, are desirable. We are looking for a pragmatic, strategic and collaborative leader who can balance assurance with delivery, respond confidently to emerging threats and inspire trust at every level.
