Deputy CISO | Senior Cyber Delivery Leader

  • Hands-on delivery execution of enterprise-wide cyber strategy.
  • Second-in-command to CISO with high visibility across CIO and Executive forums.
  • Key focus: Strategy execution, cross-functional collaboration, governance, and regulatory resilience.

About the Opportunity
A market-leading UK financial services business is seeking a high-performing Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (Deputy CISO) to lead the operational execution of its cyber security roadmap.
Reporting directly to the CISO, you will act as second-in-command, driving delivery across complex technology domains while deputising across executive, risk, audit, and regulatory committees. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on turning strategic cyber objectives into structured, transparent, and high-impact delivery.
Key Accountabilities

  • Executive Deputisation: Act as primary deputy for the CISO across CIO leadership, board-level risk committees, and regulatory engagements.
  • Hands-On Delivery Leadership: Own the operational execution of the cyber roadmap; sequence initiatives, remove blockers, and drive delivery performance across complex environments.
  • Cross-CIO Integration: Work across Engineering, Data, Architecture, Governance, and Operations to embed security directly into change delivery frameworks.
  • Governance & Risk: Lead operational governance, track KPIs/KRIs, and manage remediation plans resulting from audits, assurance, and regulatory reviews.
  • Incident Preparedness: Act as an operational leader during cyber incidents, overseeing response plans, playbooks, and post-incident remediation.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Proven Track Record: Experience delivering complex cyber security or technology programmes within regulated or high-risk environments (Financial Services/Insurance preferred).
  • Hands-On Leadership: Strong execution focus—capable of diving into delivery details, managing dependencies, and driving momentum beyond strategic oversight.
  • Framework Knowledge: Deep understanding of enterprise risk frameworks and recognized security standards (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001, UK NCSC).
  • Stakeholder Management: Exceptional capability to influence, collaborate, and partner across broad CIO and technology teams without relying solely on formal authority.
  • Executive Presence: Confident representing the CISO function in governance, board, and regulatory forums.

To Apply
If you are a delivery-focused cyber leader ready to operate at the second-in-command level within a fast-paced environment, please submit your CV for immediate consideration.
