Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
About the assignment
You join a leading organisation navigating evolving threat landscapes and regulatory pressures. As CISO, you build and mature the security programme from strategy through execution. Your role bridges the C-suite and technical teams—translating business risk into security priorities.
You own the security roadmap, manage multi-million budgets, and report directly to the CRO or Board. You'll establish governance frameworks, oversee incident response, and ensure regulatory compliance. You architect the organisation's security culture and vendor risk management practices.
Your impact is measured in reduced risk exposure, faster threat detection, and board confidence in the security posture.
Your responsibilities
- Define and execute multi-year security strategy aligned with business objectives
- Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing security team across functions
- Establish governance frameworks, KPIs, and risk metrics for C-suite reporting
- Oversee enterprise risk management, including third-party and supply chain security
- Drive incident response readiness and lead security crisis management
- Manage security budget and vendor relationships for tools, services, and assessments
- Champion security awareness and build a risk-conscious organisational culture
- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR, sector-specific mandates)
