Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
We are seeking an experienced Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to lead the development and delivery of a robust, organisation-wide information security strategy. This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for protecting information assets, technology platforms and critical services while enabling innovation and business growth.
You will define security objectives, policies and governance frameworks, ensuring they reflect recognised standards, regulatory obligations and evolving threat conditions. You will oversee risk management, security architecture, identity and access management, vulnerability management, third-party assurance, data protection and security awareness. The role will also lead incident preparedness and response, ensuring that effective plans, controls and communications are in place to manage cyber incidents and support timely recovery.
Working closely with executive leaders, technology teams, business stakeholders and external partners, you will provide clear advice on cyber risk and translate technical issues into practical business decisions. You will establish meaningful performance measures, report security posture and emerging threats to senior governance forums, and promote a culture in which security is understood as a shared responsibility. You will also manage relevant budgets, suppliers and specialist teams, developing capability through recruitment, coaching and continuous professional development.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information security leadership, cyber risk management and the design of enterprise security programmes. A strong understanding of relevant legislation, regulatory expectations, recognised security frameworks and current threat trends is essential. You will need experience of leading security operations, responding to significant incidents and influencing stakeholders at board and executive level.
Excellent communication, judgement and relationship-building skills are required, together with the ability to balance appropriate security controls with operational priorities. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent experience would be advantageous. You should be strategic, pragmatic and collaborative, with the credibility to challenge constructively and the resilience to lead through complex and fast-changing circumstances.
