Job description

Locations: London / East Kilbride / Milton Keynes

Are you ready to secure one of the most complex global organisations in government?

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is looking for a Chief Information Security Officer.

Operating across more than 180 countries and territories, FCDO faces a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape while delivering an ambitious programme of digital transformation.

We're looking for a leader who can balance risk with innovation, influence at the highest levels and build a security function that enables delivery, not bureaucracy.

What you will drive

  • Global Cyber Security Leadership, lead a team of more than 60 information and cyber security professionals responsible for protecting FCDO's people, systems, information and operations across a worldwide diplomatic network.
  • Security for a Transforming Government Department, shape and deliver the cyber and information security strategy that underpins FCDO's digital transformation agenda, ensuring security is embedded into major technology, data and operational change programmes.
  • Executive Risk & Assurance, act as the trusted adviser to executive leaders and ministers, translating complex cyber threats and security risks into clear decisions that support organisational priorities and national interests.
  • Security at Global Scale, build and evolve governance, assurance and risk frameworks that secure critical services operating across multiple jurisdictions, geopolitical environments and threat landscapes.
  • Cyber Resilience & Threat Management, lead vulnerability management, incident readiness and continuous improvement activity to ensure FCDO remains resilient against an increasingly sophisticated and persistent threat environment.
  • Cross-Government & International Influence, represent FCDO and the UK in senior government, international and security forums, helping shape thinking on cyber security, resilience and information protection across the public sector and beyond.
  • Future Capability Building, develop the next generation of cyber security professionals, creating a high-performing function with the skills, leadership and capability required to meet future challenges.

Who we are looking for

  • Proven leadership experience operating at a senior level within large, complex organisations.
  • A strong track record delivering cyber security, risk management and organisational transformation outcomes.
  • Deep understanding of modern cyber security threats, governance frameworks, security technologies and resilience principles.
  • The judgement to balance operational risk with business delivery in complex and fast-moving environments.
  • Outstanding communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage technical specialists, senior executives and ministerial stakeholders.
  • Experience building and leading high-performing multidisciplinary teams.
  • The credibility to operate as both a strategic leader and trusted adviser in a high-profile national security environment.

Most security roles protect an organisation.

This one helps protect UK interests around the world.

If you're excited by complexity, motivated by public impact and ready to lead security at global scale, we'd like to hear from you.

Are you ready to make an impact?
