Job description

Senior Cyber Security Governance Manager required to lead and evolve enterprise-wide cyber governance within a large global organisation in Glasgow.

This is a senior role with responsibility for strengthening governance, risk oversight and control frameworks across a complex, international environment. The position sits within InfoSec (not IT), giving it true independence and strategic visibility across the business.

You'll play a key role in ensuring cyber security governance supports business growth, innovation and regulatory obligations particularly as the organisation continues to mature its security capability and explore emerging technologies such as AI.

The Organisation

Over the past three years, the organisation has significantly enhanced its cyber security maturity - strengthening frameworks, investing in tooling, and embedding better risk practices across the enterprise. That journey continues, with strong executive sponsorship and ongoing investment in governance and resilience.

Security is viewed as a strategic enabler, not just a compliance requirement. The InfoSec function operates globally, partnering with senior stakeholders across regions and business units to ensure consistent standards and effective risk management.

As the business explores greater use of AI and advanced technologies, there is a growing focus on ensuring appropriate governance, controls and risk frameworks are in place from the outset.

The Role

You will take ownership of cyber governance frameworks and oversight processes, ensuring they remain aligned to varying international standards and evolving regulatory expectations.

Leading and developing a skilled team, you'll set direction, establish priorities, and ensure consistent delivery of risk oversight, policy development, reporting and control assurance activities.

You'll work closely with regional stakeholders, Risk & Compliance, procurement and senior leadership to embed governance into business processes and strategic initiatives.

A key aspect of the role will be ensuring the organisation is well positioned to manage emerging risks, particularly those associated with AI adoption, helping define appropriate controls, risk assessment approaches and oversight mechanisms.

This role combines strategic thinking with practical execution. You'll influence at executive level while also driving measurable improvements in risk visibility, reporting and control effectiveness.
