- Manage relationships with auditors, regulators, cyber insurers, and certification bodies
- Lead security assessments and integration activities for acquisitions, driving alignment to Group standards
- Partner with Platform Engineering teams to embed security practices into development lifecycles without impacting delivery velocity
- Lead and develop the GRC function to support a proactive and risk-aware security culture
Requirements
- Previous experience operating at CISO level within a multi-product or multi-entity organisation
- Hands-on experience leading PCI-DSS compliance programmes and QSA assessments
- Proven expertise building and managing enterprise-wide GRC frameworks and risk registers
- Experience assessing and integrating security functions following M&A activity
- Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles and embedding security into engineering practices
- Experience leading major security incidents, including external communications and stakeholder management
- Ability to influence at Board and executive leadership level
- Strong leadership skills with experience building and developing high-performing security teams
Benefits
- Competitive salary + benefits
- 25 days holiday + your birthday off
- Private medical insurance (Bupa) & health cash plan
- Life assurance & income protection
- Enhanced parental leave & family wellbeing support
- Perkbox discounts & perks
- Generous pension contributions
- Hybrid working model
This is a rare opportunity to shape and lead the security strategy of a fast-growing international software and payments group. You'll work at executive level, influence critical business decisions, and play a key role in safeguarding the future growth of the organisation. If you're passionate about security leadership and thrive in complex, evolving environments, we'd love to hear from you.
