Head of Cybersecurity Operations & Engineering

Salary: Competitive + car allowance, bonus, & excellent benefits | Hybrid – 3 days per week onsite – Basingstoke or London

We’re supporting a well-known UK household brand through a key leadership transition within their cyber security function. Following significant progress in strengthening capability and governance, they’re now seeking a Head of Cyber Security to continue driving maturity, structure, and operational excellence.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), this is a critical leadership role overseeing cyber engineering, operations, and governance. You’ll manage four senior direct reports and a wider team of around 15 specialists spanning Threat, Vulnerability, and Security Operations.

About You

You’re a senior cyber leader who can bridge strategy and operations – combining technical breadth, commercial understanding, and people leadership. You bring the credibility to engage with regulators and executives alike, and the pragmatism to help teams deliver tangible outcomes in a complex environment.

You’ll bring:

• Broad experience across cyber operations, engineering, and governance.
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft security tooling and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Proven ability to lead and develop multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience engaging with PRA/FCA or similar regulatory bodies.
• Confidence operating in large, fast‑paced organisations with diverse technology estates.
• A leadership style that promotes trust, structure, and empowerment.

Why Join

You’ll be joining a business that sees cyber security as a strategic enabler, not an afterthought. With strong executive backing, mature tooling, and a capable team in place, this is a chance to take an already high‑performing function to the next level – shaping how one of the UK’s most trusted organisations continues to protect its people, data, and customers.
