Director of Cyber Security – Governance

Role Overview

• Lead cyber security and IT GRC for TwiningsOvO and set the local roadmap, priorities and investment case within ABF Group standards.
• Make security and control proportionate to a single-division business — through standards, partnering and influence, not a large standing team.
• Own TwiningsOvO’s cyber risk posture; maintain a single, prioritised cyber risk register with named owners and tracked remediation.
• Give the GM and Leadership Team clear visibility of risk exposure and control effectiveness.
• Coordinate local response to security incidents, with rapid escalation to and alignment with the ABF Group security function.
• Drive vulnerability, patch and exposure management in line with Group expectations.
• Own the IT control environment, including ITGCs across SAP S/4HANA and other core applications.
• Operate IT GRC in BAU: governance forums, policy adoption and exceptions, control testing and continuous compliance against ABF and regulatory expectations.
• Lead audit readiness and remediation; act as single point of contact for Internal Audit and external auditors on IT and security, and close findings on time.
• Embed proportionate security and control requirements into BizTX delivery standards and the project lifecycle.
• Provide security assurance across the transformation portfolio from initiation through to go-live.
• Advise programme and product teams so controls are designed in, not retrofitted — without slowing delivery.
• Build a practical, security-aware culture through targeted, role-relevant education and leadership engagement.

Requirements

• Significant leadership experience in cyber security and IT governance, risk and compliance.
• Proven track record embedding or maturing security and control capability in a complex organisation.
• Strong grasp of IT control environments, ITGCs, audit and risk frameworks, applied pragmatically rather than dogmatically.
• Credible with senior leadership; challenges honestly and translates technical risk into commercial, decision-ready terms.
• Comfortable owning local accountability while operating within Group governance — diplomatic with the centre, decisive locally.
• Experience as a Head of Cyber Security, BISO, divisional / business security lead, or in a senior IT GRC leadership role.
• SAP / ERP, cloud (RISE), AI governance and major transformation experience.
• Familiarity with ISO 27001, NIST CSF and CIS Controls.
