Head of Cyber Security

We’re looking to speak with experienced Head of Cyber Security professionals who want to own, build and mature a cyber function within a fast‑moving, pragmatic organisation.

• Leading and developing a small Cyber Security team, uplifting capability and confidence
• Hands‑on management in the early stages, with a clear path to maturity
• Strengthening security posture following previous cyber incidents
• Assessing current risks early on and building clear, pragmatic business cases
• Managing and optimising third‑party security partners (e.g. MDR / SOC)
• Balancing strategic direction with operational delivery in a time‑poor environment

• Less talking, more doing
• Comfortable operating in flat organisations with quick decision‑making
• Someone who wants the freedom to define frameworks and apply best practice in a way that fits the business

Microsoft security stack, SIEM/logging platforms, endpoint protection, external MDR

• Location / commuting preferences
• Salary expectations
• Brief overview of hands‑on cyber leadership experience
