This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for protecting critical information, systems and services while enabling innovation and supporting organisational objectives.
You will establish security priorities, policies and governance frameworks aligned with business needs, regulatory obligations and recognised industry standards. Working closely with executive stakeholders, technology teams and operational leaders, you will provide clear advice on cyber risk, resilience and emerging threats, ensuring that security considerations are embedded across decision-making and transformation programmes.
Your responsibilities will include leading the information security function, overseeing security architecture, identity and access management, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, incident response and security awareness. You will maintain effective plans for detecting, managing and recovering from cyber incidents, coordinating investigations and communications where required. You will also direct regular risk assessments, audits and assurance activities, ensuring that findings are addressed and reported appropriately.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a senior information or cyber security leadership position, with a strong understanding of enterprise risk management, data protection, governance and operational resilience. You will be confident working with boards and senior leadership teams, translating complex technical issues into clear business language and making informed, proportionate recommendations.

You should have a proven record of building high-performing teams, managing budgets and suppliers, and influencing stakeholders across a complex environment. Strong communication, sound judgement and the ability to remain calm and decisive during incidents are essential.
This role offers the opportunity to shape a mature, forward-looking security capability and make a measurable contribution to organisational resilience. Applications are welcomed from individuals who combine strategic vision with practical delivery and who are committed to fostering a positive, collaborative security culture.
