We're partnered with a large organisation undergoing a major digital and data transformation, and we're looking for an experienced Cyber Security Manager to lead and mature their cybersecurity function.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

  • Own and maintain the Information Security Policy, Cyber Risk Register, and Risk Appetite framework
  • Lead internal and external audits, ensuring compliance with UK GDPR and relevant security standards
  • Oversee regulatory reporting and ensure adherence to industry frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST)
  • Focus on practical risk reduction aligned to business priorities

Data Security & Transformation

  • Lead the implementation of data security capabilities to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data
  • Support broader digital and AI initiatives by ensuring robust data protection practices
  • Collaborate with engineering and architecture teams to embed security controls into platforms

Stakeholder Engagement

  • Translate complex technical risks and alerts into clear, business-facing insights for senior leadership
  • Act as a trusted advisor to the IT Director and wider leadership team on cyber risk and resilience
  • Ensure security policies are embedded into delivery through automated controls and best practice frameworks

Skills & Experience Required

  • Proven experience managing external MSSPs, SOC, or MDR providers
  • Strong knowledge of security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, and UK GDPR
  • Experience maintaining enterprise-level risk registers and governance frameworks
  • Familiarity with data security posture management (DSPM) tools and data classification platforms
  • Good understanding of cloud security (Azure/AWS) and identity protocols (OIDC, SAML, MFA / Entra ID)
  • Experience coordinating incident response across multiple stakeholders, including external forensic teams
  • Strong commercial awareness with the ability to link security decisions to business outcomes
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical risk into business impact

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.
