Cybersecurity Lead

Security automation and evidence-collection experience

• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, OSCP, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor; practical evidence matters more than certificates

🧬 Your DNA

Pragmatic, calm under pressure, curious, and evidence-driven. You combine sound judgement with a bias for action, challenge constructively, and communicate risk without fearmongering. You are comfortable doing the work yourself while creating leverage through standards, automation, and collaboration. You understand commercial trade-offs, make clear recommendations, and escalate material risks appropriately rather than seeking universal control.

You should add dedicated security depth and consistent ownership while preserving clear accountability in the teams that own systems and decisions. You will make Engineering, Product, IT, Legal/Compliance, the DPO, and leadership more effective through prioritisation, expert challenge, reusable patterns, direct technical support, and reliable follow-through. You should reduce key-person dependency on Technology Leadership and become the trusted bridge between technical evidence and business risk decisions.

LinkedIn Profile

Profile Snapshot:

• Who you are as a person: Curious and motivated by solving meaningful problems with durable systems rather than theatre. My approach can be pragmatic, but I also enjoy exploring a problem deeply before converging on the answer.
• Who you are as a manager: I give experienced people autonomy and trust them to bring judgement, ownership, and a point of view. I do not always provide perfectly clear context at the outset, so I value people who ask questions, help structure ambiguity, and confirm shared outcomes and priorities.
• Your type of energy: Calm, analytical, low-ego, and action-oriented—particularly in high-pressure and ambiguous situations.
• Your communication style: Candid and context-rich. I sometimes provide more context than necessary or do not land the clearest version immediately, so I appreciate people who synthesise, ask clarifying questions, and help turn discussion into explicit decisions and next steps.
• Your feedback style: Thoughtful and conversational, focused on learning and improving the work rather than assigning blame. I value a two-way dialogue and expect people to ask for clarification when the feedback is not sufficiently clear or actionable.
