Head of Information Security

London (Hybrid – 2–3 days onsite)

£90,000 - £95,000 + Generous bonus & benefits

We’re looking for an experienced Head of Information Security to lead and mature our cyber and information security capability at a strategic level. This is a senior leadership role for someone already operating at Head of InfoSec level, with the confidence to shape strategy, influence stakeholders, and deliver pragmatic security outcomes in a growing organisation.

The Role

As Head of Information Security, you will own the organisation’s information and cyber security posture end‑to‑end. You’ll assess current maturity, define a clear security strategy, and lead its implementation across people, process, and technology. Working closely with senior leadership, small internal teams, and trusted third‑party vendors, you’ll ensure security is embedded, proportionate, and aligned to business objectives.

Key Responsibilities

Lead cybersecurity maturity assessments and define a clear, actionable roadmap for improvement

Develop, implement, and continuously improve the Information Security strategy, policies, and standards

Act as the senior subject matter expert for information and cyber security across the organisation

Manage and optimise third‑party security relationships, including suppliers, MSPs, and assurance partners

Oversee security governance, risk management, and compliance activities

Provide leadership and direction to a small internal team, supported by external vendors

Engage with senior stakeholders to translate security risk into clear business impact and priorities

Support audits, certifications, and assurance activities (e.g. ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus)

About You

You’ll be a confident, hands‑on security leader who is comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels.

Essential experience:

Currently operating (or recently operated) at Head of Information Security level

Strong background in cybersecurity, strategy development, and delivery

Experience managing small teams and coordinating work with external security vendors

Proven track record managing third‑party security and supplier risk

Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at senior level

ISO 27001 certification experience and/or Cyber Essentials Plus

Broad security background rather than a narrow technical specialism

Experience in professional services environments advantageous

Artificial Intelligence in Security - How to utilise it and how to protect against it

Why Join?

Senior leadership role with genuine influence over security direction

Hybrid working model with flexibility

Competitive salary of up to £95,000 plus a generous bonus and benefits package

Opportunity to shape and mature a security function rather than simply maintain one

This is a fantastic opportunity with a truly awesome organisation and an opportunity not to be missed

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.
