ISO 27001 Manager / Information Security Governance Lead
Location: Birmingham
Salary: £50,000 plus bonus and strong benefits package
James Adams is exclusively supporting a highly successful UK professional services organisation as they continue to invest in their technology, governance and information security capability.
This is a newly created senior position offering the opportunity to lead the implementation and long-term ownership of ISO 27001 across a large, complex organisation. You'll play a pivotal role in designing, embedding and continuously improving the Information Security Management System (ISMS), helping shape the organisation's security governance for years to come.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys building frameworks from the ground up rather than simply maintaining existing processes.
The Opportunity
Working closely with IT, Risk, Operations and senior business stakeholders, you'll take ownership of the ISO 27001 programme from implementation through to ongoing governance and continual improvement.
You'll become the subject matter expert for information security governance, ensuring robust controls are embedded across the organisation while driving a strong culture of security awareness and compliance.
