The Team

We are looking for a CISO to take full ownership of Information Security and Identity & Access Management at Man Group. This is a leadership role that is as much about driving change across the firm as it is about running the security function. They will set standards, influence behaviour, embed security into business processes, and work with departments across the organisation to raise the bar on how Man Group manages risk. 

A Deputy CISO will own day-to-day security operations and policy, allowing the CISO to focus on identity transformation, standards, governance, and driving security culture firm-wide. 

Reporting to the Head of Enterprise Risk, the CISO will be responsible for overseeing Identity and Access Management (IAM) Programme, IAM BAU, and Information Security.

Role Responsibilities

Strategy & Standards

• Own the information security strategy, aligning security investment to the firm's risk appetite
• Drive security culture and awareness across the firm through training, engagement, and communications
• Set and enforce security standards across technology, operations, and business departments, not just within InfoSec
• Work with teams across the organisation to model secure processes and embed security into their workflows
• Enable the safe adoption of AI and emerging technologies by defining practical security guardrails
• Own the Information Security and IAM Risks and Controls Self-Assessment (RCSA), ensuring that risks are identified, controls are documented and remediation is tracked

Identity & Access Management

• Own the IAM strategy and transformation roadmap, driving the migration from legacy provisioning to a modern, governed identity platform
• Directly oversee the identity governance implementation, including application onboarding, lifecycle automation, and access controls
• Remediate audit findings related to identity and access management

Governance & Reporting

• Chair the Information Security Steering Committee
• Present security posture, risk, and programme updates to boards and the Risk and Finance Committee
• Provide oversight of third-party risk management in coordination with the dedicated TPRM team
• Support SOC-1 audit processes
  
  

Key Competencies

Essential

• A builder mindset, comfortable with balancing competing priorities
• Demonstrable experience in a senior information security role, ready to step into a full CISO mandate
• Deep technical credibility in information security, able to operate at an architectural level and get into the weeds on implementation
• Proven ability to drive change outside of a direct reporting line, influencing technology, operations, and business teams to adopt security standards
• Strong communicator, comfortable presenting to boards and equally comfortable in a technical design review

Advantageous

• CISSP certification
• Experience with identity governance platforms and large-scale IAM transformation programmes
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code environments (Terraform, GitOps workflows)
• Experience with hybrid identity environments (Active Directory, Entra ID, SSO platforms)
• Experience defining security frameworks for emerging technology enablement
• Background in a regulated industry, with an appreciation for the governance, operational, and compliance requirements that come with itith cloud platforms (e.g., Azure or AWS) and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
