Help us create a better future, quicker
Are you ready to help shape the future of cyber security in a leading energy organisation?
Reporting to SPEN’s Head BISO, this role plays a key part in a major cyber transformation programme. You will support initiatives that drive cultural change and ensure colleagues across the business have the skills needed to meet regulatory and global requirements.
What you’ll be doing
You will lead programmes focused on improving cyber awareness and behaviour. This includes analysing data to identify gaps, then designing targeted campaigns that speak to different audiences across technical teams. You will tailor messaging by role, seniority, and location, while putting clear measures in place to track progress and impact.
Working closely with ScottishPower and Iberdrola, you will align on skills and culture initiatives. You will also lead the Cyber Champions Network, creating a strong link between cyber teams and the wider business, and ensuring cyber considerations are embedded in projects and operations.
The role also supports broader change initiatives, helping ensure a clear focus on behaviour and culture. In partnership with Corporate Cyber Security and People & Organisation, you will help shape a cyber skills framework, identify training opportunities, and stay aligned with regulatory expectations and emerging threats.
You will take ownership of cyber culture and training outcomes, supported by a strong governance model. You will also oversee the management of ISMS and controlled documentation to ensure compliance.
As a people leader, you will support and develop your team, helping them build confidence, grow their skills, and progress in their careers.
What you’ll bring
We’re looking for someone who can combine strategic thinking with practical delivery. You will have experience leading cultural or behavioural change programmes, ideally within cyber security or a related field. You bring strong communication skills and can translate complex ideas into clear, engaging messages for different audiences.
You are comfortable working with data to identify trends and measure impact, and you understand how to use insight to shape effective initiatives. Experience working across multiple stakeholders is key, as is the ability to build strong relationships and influence at all levels.
An understanding of cyber security frameworks, regulatory requirements, and the wider threat landscape will support your success in this role. Experience developing training, awareness, or skills frameworks would be beneficial.
What’s in it for you
As well as a competitive salary which is reviewed annually, you can also enjoy a number of other benefits. With our pension scheme, we’ll double match your contribution up to a company contribution of 10%.
