Cyber Capability Lead
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Capability Lead to shape and strengthen cyber security capability across a complex, evolving environment. This role will provide strategic direction while ensuring that cyber security initiatives translate into measurable improvements in resilience, risk management and operational effectiveness. You will work with senior stakeholders, technical specialists and business leaders to understand current and future capability needs, establish clear priorities and build a coordinated roadmap for delivery.
Key responsibilities will include assessing cyber maturity, identifying skills, process and technology gaps, and developing practical plans to address them. You will lead the design and implementation of capability improvement initiatives spanning governance, security architecture, threat and vulnerability management, incident response, security operations, identity and access management, and secure delivery practices. You will establish appropriate measures of success, monitor progress and provide clear reporting on risks, dependencies, investment needs and outcomes. The role will also involve supporting workforce planning, developing learning and development pathways, promoting knowledge sharing and helping to embed a strong culture of cyber awareness and accountability.
You will bring substantial experience in cyber security, technology risk, digital resilience or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of cyber capability frameworks, industry standards and current threat trends. Experience leading multidisciplinary programmes, influencing senior stakeholders and translating complex technical issues into clear business decisions is essential. You should be comfortable working across strategic and operational levels, managing competing priorities and delivering through collaboration rather than relying solely on direct authority. Relevant professional certifications or formal qualifications in cyber security, information assurance, risk management or technology are desirable. A pragmatic, analytical and inclusive approach, combined with excellent communication skills, will be critical to success.
