Role Description:

We are seeking a Programme Director with deep expertise in cybersecurity and financial services to lead the strategic delivery of critical cyber initiatives within our Cyber Business Unit. This role is being released to subcontractors due to current limitations in internal senior-level capacity.
The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the design, governance, and execution of cybersecurity programmes that protect sensitive financial data, ensure regulatory compliance (e.g., FCA, PRA, DORA), and enhance the organisation's cyber resilience.
This is a high-impact leadership role requiring strong stakeholder engagement, risk management, and delivery assurance across a portfolio of cyber initiatives, including threat intelligence, incident response, secure cloud transformation, and third-party risk management.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the end-to-end delivery of cybersecurity programmes aligned with financial services regulations and business objectives.
Drive the implementation of cyber risk frameworks, secure architecture, and operational resilience strategies.
Engage with executive stakeholders, including CISOs, CROs, and regulatory bodies, to ensure alignment and transparency.
Oversee programme governance, resource planning, and financial management.
Ensure compliance with industry standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, DORA, and GDPR.
Coordinate with internal teams and third-party vendors to deliver secure, scalable, and resilient solutions.
Maintain situational awareness of emerging threats and regulatory changes impacting the financial sector.

Essential Skills & Experience:

Proven experience as a Programme Director or Senior Programme Manager in cybersecurity within financial services.
Strong understanding of cyber risk, threat intelligence, and regulatory compliance in the UK/EU financial sector.
Demonstrated ability to lead large-scale, multi-disciplinary cyber programmes.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills at C-suite and board level.
Familiarity with cloud security, zero trust architecture, and digital identity frameworks.
