Cyber Policy Lead
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Policy Lead to develop, maintain and promote a clear, effective cyber security policy framework. This is an influential role, working across technology, risk, legal, compliance and operational teams to strengthen cyber resilience and ensure that security expectations are understood and consistently applied.
You will lead the creation, review and implementation of cyber security policies, standards and supporting guidance. This will include translating regulatory requirements, recognised industry frameworks and emerging threats into practical organisational controls. You will oversee the policy lifecycle, ensuring that documents remain accurate, proportionate and aligned with changing business needs, technology developments and the wider risk environment.
The role will involve engaging with senior stakeholders to communicate policy requirements, secure approval and support adoption. You will provide expert advice on policy interpretation, assess and manage exceptions, and contribute to governance forums and assurance activities. You will also work with control owners to monitor compliance, identify areas for improvement and support remediation where requirements are not being met.
As part of the wider cyber security function, you will contribute to risk assessments, audits, regulatory reviews and security awareness initiatives. You will be expected to monitor developments in legislation, regulation and threat activity, assessing their potential impact and recommending appropriate responses. The role may also include mentoring colleagues and supporting the development of consistent policy management processes.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security policy, governance, risk or compliance, with a strong understanding of security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or equivalent. Experience of interpreting regulatory obligations and producing clear, practical policy documentation is essential. You will need excellent written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
We are looking for someone who is organised, collaborative and confident operating in a complex environment. Relevant professional qualifications in cyber security, information assurance, risk management or governance are desirable. A commitment to continuous improvement, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities will be key to success.
