A regulated financial services firm is undergoing a technology transformation programme and needs experienced interim CISO leadership for a 9-month engagement. The permanent CISO departed and the organisation needs someone who can maintain security governance, lead the team through a cloud migration, and support regulatory engagements while they conduct a permanent search.
You have held CISO or Deputy CISO roles within financial services or similarly regulated environments. You can hit the ground running, maintain stakeholder confidence, and provide strategic direction without the luxury of a long onboarding period. FCA regulatory experience and cloud security transformation expertise are essential.
Provide strategic security leadership during the transition period. Maintain security governance and reporting to the board risk committee. Lead the security workstream of the cloud migration programme. Manage relationships with the FCA and external auditors. Ensure continuity of the security operations function and support handover to the permanent CISO.

Your application is reviewed by one of our specialist consultants within 48 hours. If your profile matches the role requirements, we will arrange an initial confidential conversation to discuss the opportunity in detail and understand your career goals.
Absolutely. Confidentiality is central to everything we do. Your application, conversations, and personal details are never shared with any third party without your explicit consent. Many of our candidates are in senior positions where discretion is paramount.
We encourage you to register your interest anyway. Our mandates change frequently, and many of our best placements come from candidates we already know when the right role emerges. We will keep your details on file and reach out when a suitable opportunity arises.
