Information Security Manager

City of London, London | £0 | Permanent

Published: 05.02.25 Ref: AS0502IS_1738792983

Senior Information Security Manager required for one of London and Glasgow's most prestigious professional services firms, in a permanent role.

The organisation operates across a number of countries and are in the process of reviewing all of the business services offerings. These roles are sitting within the wider Security function and you are likely to be an experienced InfoSec Manager, still holding strong technical and security governance and risk knowledge.

This is a pivotal position across the organisation, and you will report into the CISO of the business, whilst both managing a team and still being responsible for a robust information security framework. You will manage a team of 5 Security Engineers across two locations (different countries) and will need to have a background in looking after a small team. However, the key part to this role is having strengths across Governance and Privacy, as well as security governance/risk. Cyber essentials knowledge and ISO27001 certification would be an added bonus.

With the governance focus, you will still be heavily involved in projects and the delivery of these, alongside the setting of roadmaps and policies. It definitely still has a "hands-on" feel. Lastly, due to the nature of the business, you will be involved in both internal and external audits of clients. Having a professional services or consultancy background would come in handy.

The company you will be joining are undertaking large scale business change and there is plenty of work to be done now and moving forward. They treat their employees extremely well and have continued to grow over the last 5 years. They are looking for someone who can get into the Glasgow office, ideally a few times a week.

Key Skills and Experience:

** A number of years as a Senior Information Security Professional, either as a Manager or senior member of a team

** Ability to implement and maintain an information security governance framework such as ISO27001 and NIST

** Ability to lead the infosec risk management processes, including Enterprise Risk Management Framework, Information Security Management System and NIST practices

** Certifications such as CISSP, CISM or CRISC

** ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or Implementer

** Strong knowledge of information security principles, best practices, and standards

Candidates

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.
