About the Role
Chief Information Security Officer
The Opportunity
Most CISOs inherit a security agenda. Here, you write it.
If you're a senior security leader who wants a genuine seat at the top table, rather than a function that gets consulted after decisions are made, this is worth a closer look.
You'll be the most senior voice on cyber risk across a global group, reporting to the CIO and advising the executive team directly. The organisation is in the middle of an ambitious growth and change agenda, which means security here isn't a maintenance job. You'll shape how the group protects its most valuable assets as it grows, with the remit to make that strategy real.
The Role
You'll own security end to end, from long-term direction to day-to-day operations.
- Set the group's security strategy and turn it into a clear, prioritised plan the business can follow.
- Advise the executive team whenever cyber risk, a serious incident or a major investment decision is on the table.
- Lead security operations, so the organisation is ready to detect, contain and recover from attacks.
- Build the policies, controls and compliance processes that hold every part of the business to one consistent standard.
- Make sure new technology, change programmes and suppliers are secure from day one, not fixed after the fact.
- Grow an international team and build a culture where every employee takes ownership of security.
- Represent the organisation on security matters with clients, auditors and regulators.
Because the business is changing, you won't be defending a static estate. You'll be designing security into what the group becomes next.
The Company
Our client is a global organisation operating across multiple countries, with an international security team and a leadership group that treats cyber risk as a top-level business issue.
The CISO answers to the CIO and has direct access to the executive team, so your recommendations on risk, incidents and investment reach the people who make the final call.
What You'll Need
- Experience leading a security function at senior level, as a CISO or equivalent.
- A track record of taking security programmes from strategy to delivery across multiple countries.
- Technical grounding in cloud, identity, security operations and supplier risk.
- Working knowledge of frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, NIS2 and GDPR.
- Fluent English and a willingness to travel.
