Chief Information Security Officer
We are seeking an experienced Chief Information Security Officer to lead the organisation’s information security strategy and strengthen its ability to manage evolving cyber threats. This senior leadership role will be responsible for establishing a comprehensive security vision aligned with business objectives, regulatory obligations and recognised industry standards. The successful candidate will provide clear direction to executive leadership and the board, communicating security risks, priorities and investment requirements in a concise and commercially focused manner.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining enterprise-wide security policies, frameworks and governance processes; overseeing cyber risk management, vulnerability management, security architecture and incident response; and ensuring the effective protection of information, systems, applications and critical infrastructure. You will lead preparedness for security incidents, direct investigations and recovery activities, and coordinate relevant internal and external stakeholders when required. The role will also oversee security awareness and training programmes, supplier and third-party risk assessments, business continuity planning, and compliance with applicable data protection and cybersecurity requirements. You will manage security budgets, performance metrics and improvement plans while building a capable, collaborative and high-performing security function.
Applicants should bring substantial experience in senior information security or cybersecurity leadership roles, ideally within a complex, highly regulated or technology-intensive environment. You will have a strong understanding of security governance, risk and compliance, cloud security, identity and access management, threat intelligence, data protection and operational resilience. Relevant professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or an equivalent are desirable. Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to translate technical risks into practical business decisions. We are looking for a strategic and pragmatic leader who can combine sound judgement with hands-on understanding, promote a strong culture of security and deliver measurable improvements in organisational resilience.
