Are you a hands-on security professional ready to set the direction for information security at an international organisation? This Head of Information Security role is a new, senior position reporting to the Global Head of Technology, with real influence over what good security looks like.
You'll be the lead subject-matter expert on information and cyber security, working with infrastructure teams and suppliers to put proportionate, practical controls in place.

Defining what good security looks like and shaping proportionate, practical controls
Challenging network, infrastructure and cloud configurations constructively with engineers and suppliers
Providing expertise and oversight across vulnerability management, security monitoring and incident response
Explaining security risk and its business impact clearly to Executives
Seeing improvements through to implementation with teams who do not report to you
What You'll Bring
Significant information or cybersecurity experience, grounded in hands-on technical work
Strong experience securing enterprise network and infrastructure environments
Good knowledge of cloud security, ideally within Microsoft 365 and Azure
A strong understanding of identity, authentication, privileged access and access control
Experience applying NIST CSF, CIS Controls or ISO 27001 as practical tools, with a record of improving security standards and policies
Desirable: Google Enterprise knowledge, a recognised security certification, experience in an international or multi-site organisation, publishing, media or another IP-rich sector
