Establish metrics, KPIs, and reporting to measure capability effectiveness and drive continuous improvement
Manage budgets and resource planning to support capability development and ongoing optimisation
Ensure comprehensive incident response and crisis management plans are in place across all levels of the organisation
Design and deliver a structured exercising programme (tabletop, simulation, red team scenarios) aligned to real-world threats in the energy sector
Embed a culture of continuous learning, ensuring lessons learned are captured and translated into measurable improvements
Develop executive-level communication strategies, including briefing packs and reporting frameworks for major incidents
Act as a key point of coordination during high-severity incidents and crisis scenarios
Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners
Influence and engage senior leadership to ensure organisation-wide alignment and readiness
Requirements:
Proven experience in cyber incident response, crisis management, or incident management leadership roles
Demonstrated success in transforming or maturing an incident management capability within a complex organisation

Experience operating within regulated or critical infrastructure environments (energy, utilities, government, etc.) is highly desirable
Ability to translate complex technical incidents into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders
Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across technical and business teams
Familiarity with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, or similar
