About the role

Accountable for advising on, coordinating and assuring GBE’s approach to the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and security of personal data under UK GDPR.

Leads initially through delivery partners and transition arrangements, building a permanent security function as GBE’s estate grows.

Key responsibilities

  • Review recorded establishment-phase security decisions, confirm or adjust them against evidence, and carry them into delivery.

  • Implement the attack detection and response delivery model and document accountability during separation from shared services.
  • Confirm required standards, close priority gaps and establish an assurance regime reporting through digital investment governance to audit, assurance and enterprise risk committees.
  • Secure cloud, collaboration, staff identity and access environments as they are established.
  • Create incident response plans, roles, on-call arrangements and exercises.
  • Baseline security maturity, set a target state and publish a prioritised improvement roadmap with ownership and measures.
  • Build security requirements into procurements and the strategic partner framework, and assure major deliveries.
  • Develop the case and plan for a permanent security function, growing capability alongside the estate.

Qualifications and experience

  • Senior security leader such as CISO, deputy CISO or head of security, with experience in complex, fast-moving organisations.
  • Track record of establishing or substantially rebuilding a security function.
  • Executive-level ownership of security strategy, risk and assurance, including presenting risk to boards and audit committees.
  • Operational accountability for detection, response and incident management.
  • Willingness to govern and personally deliver key parts of GBE’s security capability.
