Join the Information Commissioners Office at a pivotal moment, where rapid technological change and the growing importance of data are reshaping the UKs economy and society. As Group Director for Regulatory Assurance and Cyber, youll take on a high-impact leadership role, steering the ICOs approach to assurance and cyber regulation.

Youll drive forward a risk-led, outcome-focused supervisory model, ensuring the UK maintains strong, trusted data protection frameworks that support innovation and public confidence. From delivering major regulatory programmes to shaping the ICOs response to new cyber legislation, youll lead expert teams to provide proactive assurance, targeted interventions and strategic oversight where it matters most.

This is a unique opportunity to influence national regulatory direction, strengthen cyber resilience, and play a critical role in enabling a secure, data-driven future.

The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) is the independent regulator of information rights. In a data-driven world, we provide advice, guidance, and support to organisations enabling compliance with their obligations, as well as protecting individuals and their personal data.

As an employer, we are passionate about making a positive difference to the lives and careers of our people, and we empower you to be curious, impactful, collaborative and respectful.

Job description

Reporting to the Executive Director for Regulatory Risk and Innovation, the role provides focused leadership and capacity in a high‑risk, fast‑evolving regulatory area. You will work closely with Executive Directors and senior leaders across the organisation to ensure coherence between assurance, supervision, investigations and enforcement activity, and to support clear prioritisation and measurable regulatory impact.

As a senior leader, you will be expected to make a significant contribution to the development and delivery of the ICOs strategic plans, policies and initiatives. You will also promote and safeguard the good corporate reputation of the ICO, raise awareness of information rights and obligations and provide leadership to the organisation and its people.

Provide direct leadership and line management for the Director of Regulatory Assurance, Director of Cyber, and two PACE product roles, bringing together assurance, cyber and product capability under a single senior leadership role. You will be responsible for ensuring all staff within the directorates are clear about standards expected and are empowered to achieve them.
Provide senior oversight of PACE product activity within scope, ensuring product delivery supports regulatory assurance and cyber priorities and is aligned to the ICOs strategy and Better Regulatory Interventions approach.
Lead delivery of the ICOs regulatory responsibilities arising from the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, ensuring readiness, capability and effective supervisory approaches are in place.
Ensure strategic risks and opportunities in all areas of responsibility are managed effectively. This means agreeing clear risk appetites, ensuring all risks are clearly articulated and actively managed, and that all controls and mitigating actions are effective and proportionate.
Overall budgetary and fiscal responsibility for Regulatory Assurance and Cyber functions, overseeing operational spend and leading on development of business cases where necessary.
Embed a supervisory approach to regulation, focused on earlier engagement, prevention of harm and delivery of clear, measurable regulatory outcomes.
Ensure assurance and cyber interventions are proportionate, evidence‑based and consistent with the ICOs Better Regulatory Interventions approach.
Work closely with Legal, Investigations and other regulatory functions to support effective escalation, enforcement decision‑making and end‑to‑end regulatory coherence.
Contribute to organisational horizon‑scanning and risk assessment, identifying emerging threats, opportunities and trends relevant to cyber resilience and assurance.
Establish and maintain effective internal and external relationships with government, public bodies, regulators, industry and other stakeholders to support delivery of regulatory objectives, regulatory coherence and effective risk management.
Support the Executive Director for Regulatory Risk and Innovation in business planning, performance management and reporting on assurance and cyber activity.
Engaging across the whole of the ICO, establishing close working relationships and taking responsibility for matrix management where necessary to ensure a connection across the organisation to achieve a successful and cohesive implementation of the relevant strategies.
Ensure that the ICO values diversity in its workforce and demonstrates equality of opportunity in its treatment of staff, customers and in all aspects of its business.
Seeking continuous improvement in all areas of responsibility and acting as a catalyst for efficiency, high performance, continuous improvement and innovation across the organisation.
Play a significant role in the leadership of the ICO and all relevant initiatives, taking personal responsibility for ad hoc projects or tasks agreed with the CEO and Executive Team.
