"GCHQ is looking to recruit a chief information security officer (CISO), a job it describes as "one of the most influential cybersecurity leadership roles in the UK," at a salary of £96,981 to £130,000. According to the security agency's recruitment ad, the job involves protecting the UK against "the most capable and persistent adversaries" and balancing "capability, acceptable risk, and technological progress.""
"Candidates will ideally have one or more professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or CCISO, experience leading a cybersecurity function, and a "deep understanding of cloud security." They must be British citizens or holders of dual British nationality and should apply from within the UK, preferably using a separate email address from their usual one that does not contain identifying features."
"Major projects in fiscal 2023 included an expansion of capabilities for computer network exploitation, preparation for a new cloud platform - which may explain the CISO's cloud security requirement - and improved support for the UK's submarine-based nuclear deterrent."
