About the Role
We're partnered with a leading global insurance group to appoint a Head of Group Technology & Information Security Risk a senior second-line leadership role at the heart of the Group Digital Risk function.
This is a rare opportunity to shape how technology, cyber and information security risk is understood and managed across a complex, multi-jurisdiction business. You'll act as a trusted advisor to the Chief Risk & Compliance Officer and senior executives, providing credible challenge and forward-looking insight that directly informs Board-level decisions and strategic investment.
If you're a technology risk leader who can operate confidently across the Three Lines of Defence, influence at the most senior level, and stay composed when it matters most, this one's worth a look.
What you'll do:
- Provide risk assurance and strategic advisory on technology, cloud, information assets and cyber security to the Group CRO, Board and relevant committees.
- Lead and evolve the Group's Technology & Information Security GRC strategy, driving consistent adoption across every entity.
- Set enterprise-wide policy and standards that meet regulatory requirements for technology, information security and digital resilience across the UK, Europe and the USA.
- Own the second-line view on emerging technology roadmaps, ensuring alignment with Group strategy and competitive positioning.
- Act as senior leadership liaison for the Group's Crisis Management Plan and cyber resilience strategy — including accountability for the cyber insurance mandate.
- Serve as the primary point of contact with UK and European regulators on technology risk, digital resilience and information security.
- Lead governance for technology and security change programmes, including oversight of cyber incidents, coordination of response, and support for recovery — with clear senior management reporting throughout.
