Senior Manager, Division IT Security

As Senior Manager, Division IT Security, you will be the trusted cybersecurity partner for a major business division. Your mission is to ensure that cybersecurity is embedded into how the business operates—securely enabling growth, innovation, and operational excellence.

You will work closely with divisional IT, manufacturing, engineering, and business leaders to translate enterprise security expectations into practical, risk‑based actions. By providing strong leadership in security governance, risk management, and compliance, you will help reduce cyber risk across IT, OT, commercial, and manufacturing environments while supporting critical enterprise security initiatives. This role is ideal for a senior cybersecurity leader who thrives in complex, matrixed organisations and can influence outcomes without direct authority.
