Your new company
This is a large UK-based charity.
Your new role

You'll be responsible for defining and delivering the organisation's information security, cybersecurity and IT risk strategy across a large, complex technology estate. This is a rare opportunity to shape the security roadmap, recruit your own team and work closely with senior leadership to strengthen security culture and resilience.

What you'll need to succeed

• Previous experience leading Information Security or Cybersecurity functions
• Strong knowledge of security frameworks such as ISO27001 and NIST
• Experience developing security strategy, governance and risk management frameworks
• Ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive organisational change
• A passion for building high-performing security teams and security-first cultures

What you'll get in return

• Opportunity to build and shape a security function rather than simply inherit one
• Executive-level exposure and influence on strategic decision-making
• Strong work-life balance with a genuine hybrid working culture
• Generous annual leave entitlement and pension contribution
