We’re looking for you to play a pivotal role in safeguarding our operations against cyber threats. As a Cyber Risk Manager, you'll support and enable senior executive stakeholders across our nuclear licensees to gain a comprehensive understanding of cyber risks to our information, IT, and plant systems—whether regulated or non-regulated. Your responsibilities will include:

• Tracking and reporting on risk management activities and decisions across our vast nuclear estate, ensuring seamless coordination of cyber security risk management reporting and associated metrics.
• Providing management and oversight of risk licensee management policies, processes, and procedures to maintain a robust risk management framework.
• Convening and chairing the Nuclear Cyber Security Risk Forums, where you'll establish a common working-level view of cyber risk positions consistent with our Nuclear Cyber Security Strategy and the EDF cyber target operating model.
• Promoting risk management to enhance licensee understanding of their exposure and inform investment decisions through cyber security forums.

• Supporting the running and attendance of SIRO's Oversight Boards, ensuring that licensee SIROs grasp their respective risk positions and can make informed decisions regarding risk treatment.
• Assisting in the analysis and presentation of cyber risks across our nuclear licensees, collaborating with key stakeholders such as the Head of CS&IA, licensee BISOs, and the EDF UK Office of the CISO.
• Managing external contractors and suppliers to ensure the successful delivery of our key accountabilities.

Who you are…

Along with being able to achieve our Security Clearance (SC) checks, to be suitable for this role, we’re looking for you to:  

• A solid understanding of national and international standards and information security frameworks like ISO27000 and HMG Security Policy framework. Get ready to dive deep into the intricate world of cyber security regulations and best practices.
• Expertise in cyber security risk management frameworks and methodologies such as ISO27005, NIST CSF, and IRAM2. Your strategic approach to risk management will be critical in ensuring our systems remain secure and resilient.
• Practical experience in tackling complex cyber security threats, vulnerabilities, and risks. You'll be on the front lines, safeguarding our digital assets against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
• A knack for navigating the digital realm with ease. From mastering the latest software tools to staying abreast of emerging technologies, your computer literacy will be your greatest asset.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills that go beyond technical jargon. You'll need to build trust and foster collaboration across teams, finding pragmatic solutions that balance business objectives with security requirements.
• Proven leadership abilities and stakeholder management skills. Get ready to inspire and influence others as you lead teams and collaborate with stakeholders to drive our cyber security initiatives forward.
