We are seeking an experienced Lead Cyber Security Risk Manager – Head of Secure Design to provide strategic leadership across cyber security risk management, secure design and security assurance. This is a senior role for an established security professional who can translate complex risks into clear, actionable recommendations and embed security principles across technology, change and business operations.

You will lead the development and continuous improvement of secure design standards, principles, patterns and governance processes. Working closely with architecture, engineering, technology delivery and risk teams, you will ensure that security is considered from the earliest stages of initiative and product development through to implementation and ongoing operation. You will also oversee security risk assessments, challenge design decisions where appropriate and provide proportionate advice that supports delivery while protecting critical assets and information.

Key responsibilities will include managing and developing a team of cyber security risk and secure design specialists; establishing effective assurance and risk acceptance processes; maintaining security controls, policies and design guidance; and producing clear reports for senior stakeholders and governance forums. You will monitor emerging threats, regulatory expectations and industry practice, using these insights to strengthen the organisation’s security posture. The role will also involve supporting audit activity, tracking remediation plans and promoting a consistent risk-based approach across a complex technology environment.

Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security risk management, security architecture, secure-by-design practices or a closely related discipline. You will be confident engaging with senior leaders and technical specialists, influencing decisions and communicating complex issues in straightforward language. Experience of risk frameworks, control assessments, threat modelling, cloud security and modern technology delivery methods would be highly advantageous.

Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, SABSA or equivalent experience, are desirable. Above all, you will bring sound judgement, strong leadership, excellent stakeholder management skills and a practical approach to managing cyber security risk. This is an opportunity to shape secure design capability and make a measurable contribution to resilience, trust and long-term business performance.
