Delivery Lead – Cyber Security

Delivery Lead – Cyber Security (Contract) | Cardiff

We’re supporting a large financial services organisation on their cyber security transformation, and they are looking for an experienced and technical Delivery Lead to coordinate between technical activity and strategic cyber objectives.

Responsibilities:

• Translate strategic cyber initiatives including IAM, DLP, and control gap remediation into clear deliverables and prioritised work packages.
• Manage dependencies across Cyber, IT, and Risk teams, ensuring sequencing and handoffs are optimised for delivery flow.
• Identify and remove delivery blockers in real time, escalating effectively where required.
• Maintain momentum and clarity across delivery teams, ensuring priorities and next steps are always well understood.
• Apply sufficient technical and cyber knowledge to challenge plans, refine the delivery approach, and improve outcomes.

Requirements:

• Proven background in Technical Delivery leadership, ideally with a strong understanding of cyber-related programmes.
• Comfortable operating across multiple teams and driving execution without formal authority.
• Outcome-focused with a preference for hands-on technical delivery.
• Experience in fast-moving, technically complex environments within regulated or risk-sensitive organisations.

This is an embedded engagement where the successful candidate will play a central role in improving delivery pace and predictability, reducing coordination overhead for technical SMEs, and ensuring the organisation’s cyber programmes deliver against their strategic objectives.
