Cyber Policy Lead
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Policy Lead to shape and strengthen cyber security policy across a complex, highly regulated environment. This is an influential role for a policy professional who can translate emerging cyber risks, legal requirements and industry standards into clear, practical guidance that supports secure and effective business operations.
You will lead the development, review and maintenance of the cyber security policy framework, ensuring that policies remain proportionate, current and aligned with recognised standards and regulatory expectations. You will assess the impact of emerging threats, technologies and legislation, provide authoritative advice to senior stakeholders, and ensure that policy requirements are understood and consistently applied across the organisation.
Key responsibilities will include establishing policy priorities and a forward-looking roadmap; coordinating consultation and approval activity; defining supporting standards, procedures and guidance; and monitoring compliance through appropriate assurance, reporting and review mechanisms. You will work closely with risk, governance, legal, technology, privacy and operational teams, helping to resolve policy exceptions and strengthen organisational resilience.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cyber security policy, governance, risk or a closely related discipline. You will be confident interpreting regulatory and industry requirements and converting them into concise, actionable policy. Experience working with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework or CIS Controls would be advantageous, as would knowledge of information assurance, third-party risk and data protection.
You will be an excellent communicator, able to influence senior decision-makers and engage effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong analytical, drafting and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality work in a changing environment. Relevant professional qualifications in cyber security, information risk, governance or policy are desirable.
This role offers the opportunity to make a tangible contribution to cyber resilience, embedding consistent standards and helping people manage security risk with confidence. Flexible working arrangements may be available, subject to business requirements.
