In this influential position, you’ll guide the business on cyber risk, drive improvements across regulatory and compliance areas, and work closely with senior stakeholders to develop the business’ information and cyber security roadmap. You’ll also lead a small specialist team, helping them deliver high‑quality governance, risk, compliance, continuity and supply chain insights.

- Credible leadership skills supported by excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
- Great interpersonal skills with the ability to influence, empower and engage stakeholders at all levels, including senior executives and technical experts
- Experience delivering security projects within technically complex and highly regulated environments
To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Clearance (SC), which will ordinarily require you to have British residency for the last five years.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Act as the strategic cyber security lead for your business unit, aligning security priorities to business strategy whilst operationalising the enterprise-wide security strategy
- Own the cyber risk posture, ensuring risks are clearly understood, prioritised and aligned to the agreed risk appetite
- Drive delivery of security initiatives and roadmap commitments across major programmes and business change
