  • Oversee the enhancement, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the ISMS.
  • Develop and refine information security policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines.
  • Collaborate with business units to identify, assess, and prioritize information security risks.
  • Assist in the review and management of information security clauses in client agreements.
  • Provide expert guidance to management on information security practices, including routine activities and emerging risks.

What You Bring

  • A blend of commercial acumen and strong leadership skills, with a focus on building a high-performing team.
  • Proven ability to cultivate robust external relationships while fostering strong internal connections.
  • Capacity to engage with stakeholders to clarify priorities and deliverables.
  • Extensive experience in information security management or related fields, such as IT audit or risk management.
  • Experience in implementing or managing an ISO/IEC 27001 certified ISMS.
  • A solid foundation in technical IT roles, complemented by a keen interest in information security.
  • In-depth knowledge of contemporary and emerging security standards and industry trends.
