Cyber security plays a critical role in protecting essential services, supporting operational resilience, and enabling the transition to a secure, sustainable energy future. We're looking for a Cyber Risk & Assurance Manager to provide independent oversight and assurance across our cyber security landscape, helping ensure that cyber risks are understood, managed, and controlled effectively across the organisation.

Operating within the second line of defence, this role will shape and maintain the cyber risk management framework while providing constructive challenge to risk and control activities across both IT and OT environments. Working closely with business and technology teams, you'll help strengthen cyber resilience, support regulatory compliance, and provide senior leaders with the insight needed to make informed risk-based decisions.

This is a highly visible position with responsibility for monitoring the organisation's cyber risk posture, overseeing assurance activities, and ensuring that cyber controls remain effective in an evolving threat landscape. The role also plays a key part in embedding a strong risk culture, promoting accountability, transparency, and ownership of cyber security risk across the business.

You’ll lead a team of cyber risk and assurance specialists, providing oversight of risk assessments, control reviews, assurance programmes, and third‑party cyber risk management. The position offers the opportunity to influence cyber security strategy across a large and complex organisation while working closely with senior stakeholders, executive committees, regulators, auditors, and industry bodies.

We're seeking an experienced cyber security professional with a strong background in cyber risk management, governance, and assurance. You'll have deep knowledge of recognised cyber risk frameworks and industry standards, alongside experience developing and delivering assurance programmes within a large‑scale organisation. An understanding of the regulatory landscape affecting critical national infrastructure, including NIS Regulations, NCSC CAF, and wider energy sector requirements, will be highly valuable.

Just as important is the ability to translate complex cyber risks into clear business language. You'll be comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels, building trusted relationships, and providing balanced challenge that supports effective decision making. Strong leadership, strategic thinking, and communication skills will be key to success in the role. Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GICSP, or equivalent are desirable, alongside significant experience in cyber security risk management and assurance.

As well as a competitive salary which is reviewed annually, you can also enjoy a number of other benefits. With our pension scheme, we’ll double match your contribution up to a company contribution of 10%.
