About You :

You are an accomplished security leader with the credibility to influence at Board level and the technical depth to guide teams across cyber, physical, personnel, and operational resilience. You thrive in complex, high-stakes environments where risk management, regulatory compliance, and innovation must coexist.

You will set and deliver a comprehensive security strategy that balances commercial ambitions with risk management, regulatory compliance, and resilience. Acting as a trusted advisor to the Board, you'll provide clear visibility of emerging threats, opportunities, and priorities while shaping security as a true business enabler.
