You will take responsibility for protecting all internal Corporate information and data within the UK as well as Overseas. This is an excellent opportunity to shape the Corporate Security function within

You will be a proven and experienced Senior Security Manager or Head of Security with excellent communications skills and the ability to influence and educate senior management in Cyber Security threats. As such, you will have experience of:
