Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage the end-to-end Security function
  • Build and mentor a small, high-performing team
  • Ensure compliance with relevant security and regulatory standards
  • Drive uplift in cybersecurity maturity across IT and OT environments
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to embed security best practices and controls
  • Develop and execute a multi-year cybersecurity strategy

Skills & Experience

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

  • Proven cybersecurity leadership experience (5+ years) with a strong technical foundation
  • Track record of building and executing multi-year strategies
  • Broad knowledge of security platforms, tools, and frameworks
  • Industry exposure in heavy industry, energy, mining, or logistics (highly regarded)
