The CISO will apply their excellent technological skills, extensive experience of the cyber landscape and highly effective leadership skills, to help the University respond to the evolving cyber threats and protect the University of Oxford’s ability to deliver its academic mission.

The CISO is a member of the Assurance Directorate Senior Leadership Team and also attends the IT Services Senior Management Team meetings.

The ideal candidate will have an excellent knowledge of information security trends, technologies and methodologies and have, or be able to develop quickly, a sound understanding of the collegiate University. They will inspire confidence of senior stakeholders, lead by consensus, and will be skilled in integrating the various elements of information security. They will support the University’s strategic objectives whilst ensuring the appropriate information security protections and practices to safeguard the information assets of the University.

The successful candidate will have experience in leading a cyber security or IT function and an in-depth understanding of cyber threats, vulnerabilities and mitigation. They will manage diverse and high performing teams, and possess the ability to manage, lead and motivate cross-functional, interdisciplinary teams across highly complex and devolved organisation.
