Job Specifications

Interim Head of Information Security (Contract)

We’re supporting a product-led technology business that is bringing in an interim Head of Information Security to lead a short, delivery-focused engagement.

This role is deliberately hands-on. The client is not looking for a policy owner or audit lead — they need someone who can build, integrate, and improve security alongside engineering teams, and leave the function in a materially stronger place at the end of the engagement.

Initial engagement: 3 months

Location: UK (remote-first, 2 onsite visits per month)

What you’ll be working on

Taking ownership of practical security delivery across cloud platforms, applications, APIs, and data
Working directly with engineering and platform teams to embed security into build and deployment workflows
Improving how security shows up in CI/CD, SDLC, and platform engineering, with a strong bias toward automation
Leading incident response and threat modelling from an engineering and adversarial perspective
Running a small, focused security function, setting technical direction and standards without unnecessary process

What we’re looking for

A strong background in security engineering, with hands-on experience across cloud, application, and infrastructure security
Someone who still builds, configures, and automates, rather than operating purely at oversight level
Experience operating in lean teams with high ownership and autonomy
Comfortable applying automation and emerging techniques (including AI where appropriate) to real security problems
Able to step into an environment quickly, deliver change, and hand over cleanly

What this role is not

Not a governance-only or compliance-led position
Not a role for someone removed from day-to-day technical work
