About the Role
We are recruiting for a strategic Information Security Manager to join an IT function in South Wales.
Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, the successful candidate will lead a team of three Security Analysts and work in close partnership with the Data Protection Officer to ensure the organisation's information security posture supports both operational needs and regulatory compliance.
This is a senior, strategic role rather than a hands-on technical position. The organisation is looking for a leader who can drive transformation, influence stakeholders at all levels, and balance competing business priorities.
