This is an opportunity to contribute directly to a critical national infrastructure business, ensuring that cyber risk methodologies, policies, frameworks and governance standards are robust, effective and clearly understood throughout the business.
What you’ll be doing
As Cyber Risk Lead you will take ownership of identifying, assessing and managing cyber risks across SPEN.
