Senior Information and Cyber Security Officer (5063)
We are seeking a Senior Information and Cyber Security Officer to provide expert guidance, assurance and practical support across a complex organisation. This is a key role in strengthening information security, managing cyber risk and helping to ensure that systems, services and data remain secure, resilient and compliant with relevant legislation, policies and industry standards. You will work closely with technical teams, business leaders and external partners to promote a strong security culture and deliver proportionate, risk-based solutions.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining and improving information and cyber security policies, standards, procedures and governance arrangements; undertaking risk assessments, control reviews and security audits; and monitoring compliance against applicable regulatory and best-practice requirements. You will contribute to security architecture and the assessment of new technologies, projects, suppliers and information-sharing arrangements. The role will also involve supporting vulnerability management, incident response, business continuity and disaster recovery activities, as well as investigating security events and ensuring that lessons learned are embedded. You will prepare clear reports, briefings and recommendations for senior stakeholders and help coordinate awareness, training and phishing-resilience initiatives.
You will bring substantial experience in information security, cyber security, risk management or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of security frameworks, threat landscapes, governance and assurance. Experience of working with standards such as ISO 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or equivalent is desirable, as is knowledge of data protection and public-sector or regulated environments. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent experience, would be advantageous. You will be analytical, organised and confident communicating technical issues to non-technical audiences. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgement, strong influencing skills and a collaborative approach, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality outcomes in a changing environment.
