The successful candidate will lead the development, implementation and continuous improvement of security risk management frameworks, ensuring that risks are identified, assessed, treated and reported consistently across relevant business areas. This role will work closely with senior stakeholders, operational teams and specialist security functions to strengthen resilience and support informed decision-making.

Key responsibilities will include maintaining sector-wide security risk registers, conducting risk assessments and scenario analysis, and advising on appropriate controls, mitigations and assurance activity. You will monitor emerging threats, vulnerabilities, regulatory developments and geopolitical factors, translating these into clear business impacts and recommended actions.
