Strong understanding of at least one of the following: NIS, Cyber Security, IT Security, Information Security or Physical Security, with the ability to quickly understand the wider security landscape.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge and influence senior stakeholders.
Experience working within a regulated environment (energy, utilities, critical infrastructure or similar highly desirable).
Comfortable maintaining project artefacts, risks, plans and reporting (MS Project and SharePoint preferred).
An inquisitive, delivery-focused mindset with the ability to tease out the detail needed without becoming lost in technical complexity.
