Cybersecurity Strategy and Risk Manager

About This Role

About the Company:

Riyadh Air (RX), headquartered in the Saudi Capital, is the new national airline that’s shaping the future of flying. It seeks to lead the aviation industry by transforming Saudi Arabia into a global aviation and trade hub – a digitally native airline that will connect the kingdom to more than 100 destinations.

About the Role:

Do you have the strategic insight and leadership drive to shape enterprise cybersecurity risk for a next‑generation airline?

In this pivotal role, you'll lead cybersecurity strategy and enterprise cyber risk posture by embedding risk‑based decision making across business and technology environments.

You'll develop and maintain the enterprise‑wide cybersecurity strategy aligned with organisational objectives and risk appetite.

Central to this role, you will lead the cyber risk management lifecycle, oversee enterprise risk assessments, establish data security governance, and ensure emerging technology and business risks are proactively identified and managed.

Acting as a bridge between cyber risk and executive decision‑making, this role ensures complex threats are translated into meaningful insight while balancing innovation, resilience and protection of critical information assets.

You’ll be both strategic and pragmatic, equally comfortable defining multi‑year cyber roadmaps and engaging leaders with clear, risk‑based insights.

Importantly, you will bring a strong background in cybersecurity strategy, enterprise risk management, and governance, ideally within large or complex organisations.

Join us in shaping a resilient and secure future for air travel; where strategy meets risk intelligence, and trust is built into every decision.

About You:

Degree qualified, you are expected to demonstrate a minimum of 7 years of experience in cybersecurity strategy, enterprise cyber risk management, or GRC leadership roles, with a strong understanding of cyber risk assessment, data security governance, and strategic security planning.

We’d love to hear from you even more if you have experience influencing executive leadership and shaping risk decisions within highly regulated or digitally transforming environments.

This is your opportunity to shape the future of air travel. Bring your best and show us why you can own this position within Riyadh Air.
