We are looking for an experienced Information & Cybersecurity Risk Manager to lead the design, governance and ongoing development of an enterprise-wide cyber-risk management framework.

This is a senior leadership position for someone who can move an organisation beyond traditional compliance-led GRC towards proactive, business-owned and data-driven cyber-risk management.

What you’ll do:

  • Lead and evolve the organisation’s information and cybersecurity risk-management framework.
  • Establish consistent risk methodologies, governance and reporting across a complex global business.
  • Drive accountability for information risk within business and technology teams.
  • Lead cyber-risk governance forums and provide clear, board-ready reporting on key risks, treatment plans and exposure.
  • Ensure material residual risks are appropriately escalated, formally accepted and tracked.
  • Prioritise and coordinate risk assessments across critical technology environments, business processes, major programmes and third parties.
  • Introduce and mature quantitative risk practices, including probabilistic assessment, risk simulation and loss modelling.
  • Partner with Enterprise Risk, Internal Audit, Privacy, Safety and senior technology stakeholders.
  • Support the assessment and management of emerging risks, including AI and agentic AI.
  • Lead targeted cyber-awareness and behavioural-change initiatives.
  • Develop and upskill a high-performing cyber-risk function.

What we’re looking for:

  • 10+ years’ experience across cybersecurity, information security, technology risk or GRC.
  • Proven experience leading enterprise-wide cyber or information-risk programmes within a large, complex organisation.
  • Strong executive and board-level stakeholder management, with the ability to translate cyber risk into commercial and operational impact.
  • Genuine experience with cyber-risk quantification, data-led risk analysis or advanced risk modelling.
  • Strong knowledge of global cybersecurity, privacy and data-protection regulations.
  • Experience assessing risks across cloud, technology transformation, third parties and enterprise business processes.
  • CRISC certification is essential.
  • CISM, CISA or equivalent certifications are highly desirable.
  • Previous people-leadership and risk-function development experience.
  • Background in aviation, transport, financial services, government, consulting or another highly regulated environment would be advantageous.
