Experience implementing cyber or data governance frameworks (e.g. Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001).
Proven people management within technical or compliance teams.
Ability to translate complex risk into clear, board-level communication.
Experience creating governance policies, standards, and frameworks from scratch.
Strong stakeholder management across business, legal, and technology.
