Cybersecurity leadership that shapes global impact, now hiring (fully remote UK based)

A rare senior leadership opportunity that's perfect for a seasoned CISO, Director of Information Security, or Head of InfoSec & Data.

In today's landscape of escalating cyber threats, we're seeking a leader who has already stood at the frontline.

Guiding complex organisations through high-pressure incidents with clarity, resilience, and strategic foresight.

Your primary purpose will be to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of their information assets.

Ensure risks across the global organisation are identified and mitigated through compliance with their global security standards.

You will advise at the c-suite level as well as their Audit and Risk Board Committee on compliance and risk in these areas.

This isn't just about technical depth. It's about your ability to influence at the highest levels.

Translating complex risk into simple, business-aligned language and calmly steering senior leadership through uncertain waters.

Who we're looking for:

* exceptional leadership in both InfoSec and Data Protection

* experience within complex, high-stakes environments

* crisis management and incident response

* proven ability to engage senior leadership with composure, clarity, and authority. Translating technical risk into simple, strategic insights

* Security frameworks such as ISO 27001 & NIST CSF

* Professional qualification in Cybersecurity (CSIM, CISSP or similar)

* Data Protection or Privacy qualification is desirable (CIPP/R or C-DPO)

This is a tremendous opportunity for an InfoSec and Data Privacy leader to join a hugely positive organisation with a vast global presence, where your work impacts people on a larger scale.

On offer is up to £100k plus excellent benefits, including 32 days' holiday, fully remote, and a very generous pension plus usual benefits.

If you're ready to lead with impact and shape global InfoSec strategy, let's have a private and confidential chat.
