Information Security Manager

London | Hybrid Working | Permanent

A leading international law firm is seeking an experienced Information Security Manager to join its growing global technology function. This is a senior leadership opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing strategic security leadership with hands-on operational oversight in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.

Working closely with the Chief Information Security Officer, you will lead the firm's security operations, manage a dedicated security team, and play a key role in shaping and evolving the organisation's global cyber security strategy.

This is an opportunity to join a highly respected professional services environment where Information Security is viewed as a genuine business priority rather than simply a compliance function.

The Role

You will be responsible for driving the firm's Information Security strategy across multiple international offices, ensuring robust protection of systems, infrastructure and sensitive client data.

The successful individual will:

  • Lead and develop a high-performing Information Security team
  • Oversee security operations including SIEM, endpoint protection, vulnerability management and incident response
  • Manage cyber resilience across both cloud and on-premise environments
  • Act as the senior escalation point for security incidents and response activity
  • Drive continuous improvement across security policies, controls and governance frameworks
  • Ensure compliance with GDPR, ISO27001 and wider regulatory obligations
  • Support business continuity and disaster recovery planning
  • Provide security oversight across firmwide technology and transformation projects
  • Coordinate client security questionnaires and third-party security reviews
  • Engage regularly with senior stakeholders across Technology, Risk and the wider business

What They're Looking For

  • Strong experience within a senior Information Security role
  • Previous experience within legal, professional services or financial services environments
  • Strong understanding of cyber security operations, governance and risk management
  • Experience managing and developing technical security teams
  • Strong knowledge of SIEM technologies, cloud security and incident response processes
  • Ability to communicate effectively with both technical teams and senior leadership
  • Experience operating within regulated environments
  • Desirable experience includes:
  • CISSP, CISM, CISA or similar certifications
  • Exposure to legal technologies such as iManage or other DMS/PMS platforms

Why Join?

  • Join a globally recognised organisation with significant investment in technology and security
  • Highly collaborative and people-focused culture
  • Genuine long-term progression opportunities
  • Modern hybrid working environment
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
  • Opportunity to influence security strategy at enterprise level

Location: London

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
