This is a high-impact role responsible for analysing, communicating and managing cybersecurity risk across the enterprise, ensuring threats are understood, controls are effective, and cyber risk is fully embedded into Royal Mail's wider risk framework.

You will act as a senior subject-matter expert, advising stakeholders across Technology, Operational Technology (OT), Data, Risk, Audit and the wider business. Your work will directly influence Board-level risk appetite, regulatory compliance and the delivery of our 5-year Cyber Security Strategy.

• Provide expert cyber risk leadership across major programmes and workstreams, ensuring alignment with Board-approved risk appetite.
• Assess cyber risks across complex technologies, data flows and interdependent systems, recommending effective mitigation strategies.
• Engage and influence mid-to-senior stakeholders, translating complex cyber issues into clear business-focused insights.
• Ensure cyber risks are identified, assessed and managed across Technology and OT environments.
• Lead the delivery of Royal Mail's Cyber Risk Management solution, supporting annual reporting and Audit & Risk Committee oversight.
• Contribute to the design and delivery of the Cyber Security Awareness Campaign, driving continuous improvement in risk culture.

What You'll Bring

• Strong experience in Cybersecurity or Technology Risk, ideally within large or complex organisations.
• Deep knowledge of cyber risk assessment, risk methodologies and security best practice.
• Ability to operate confidently at senior levels, aligning tactical activity to strategic risk objectives.
• Experience influencing stakeholders and managing vendor relationships.
• Strong analytical thinking, resilience and the ability to navigate ambiguity and organisational change.
• Experience building or leading small, high-performing teams.
• Relevant security or risk qualifications (e.g. CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, MoR).

Why Join Royal Mail?

You'll play a pivotal role in strengthening the cyber resilience of a national institution, shaping how cyber risk is understood, governed and managed across the organisation. This is a chance to influence at scale, work with senior leaders and contribute to a multi-year transformation of Royal Mail's security posture.
