About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) with a focus on enterprise risk and data security. This senior leadership role is pivotal in modernizing the approach to risk management and data protection, particularly in a global organization where data, cloud platforms, and emerging technologies are integral to operations. The successful candidate will be responsible for defining and leading the company's strategy in technology and cyber risk, data protection, and data governance. This includes setting the vision, operating model, and roadmap for enterprise risk management, building and leading global teams, and establishing governance that drives clear decisions and accountability. The CISO will also be the executive authority on data risk, ensuring that security decisions are practical, measurable, and aligned with business outcomes. The ideal CISO for this role will have extensive experience in information security, cyber risk, and data protection at an enterprise scale, with a strong technical background and the ability to operate at an executive level. They must be adept at translating technical risk into business impact, maintaining trust through credible risk reporting, and enabling informed risk decisions. The role requires a leader who can partner with various teams to support secure innovation, and who is comfortable being accountable for difficult decisions. Formal qualifications are important, but the emphasis is on sound judgment, technical credibility, and leadership presence. The CISO will not be inheriting a static program but will have the opportunity to shape the future of enterprise risk and data protection, making a lasting impact on the organization's security posture.
