Cyber Policy Lead
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Policy Lead to shape and develop cyber security policy across a complex organisation. This is an influential role for someone who can translate emerging cyber risks, regulatory expectations and technical developments into clear, practical and proportionate policy. You will work with senior stakeholders, security specialists, risk teams and business leaders to strengthen cyber resilience and support informed decision-making.
You will lead the end-to-end policy lifecycle, including researching requirements, drafting and reviewing policies, coordinating consultation, securing approval and monitoring implementation. You will maintain a coherent suite of cyber security policies, standards and supporting guidance, ensuring that they remain aligned with relevant legislation, recognised frameworks and organisational risk appetite. The role will also involve identifying gaps, assessing policy effectiveness and recommending improvements.
Key responsibilities will include advising on cyber governance and control requirements; interpreting regulatory and industry developments; contributing to risk assessments and assurance activity; supporting audits and regulatory engagement; and producing concise reports, briefings and recommendations for senior audiences. You will also help embed policy through awareness, communications, training and engagement, ensuring that requirements are understood and applied consistently across varied teams and services.
We are looking for a strong communicator with demonstrable experience in cyber security policy, information security governance, risk or a closely related discipline. You will have a sound understanding of security principles, control frameworks and relevant regulatory obligations, together with the ability to analyse complex information and present it clearly. Experience of working across technical and non-technical communities, managing competing priorities and influencing without direct authority is essential.
Professional qualifications in cyber security, information governance, risk management or policy development would be advantageous. Above all, you will bring sound judgement, attention to detail, a collaborative approach and the confidence to challenge constructively. This is an opportunity to make a visible contribution to cyber maturity while helping create policies that are practical, effective and fit for purpose.
