Our client is seeking a proven Cyber Security Manager to lead their global cybersecurity operations spanning 20+ countries. This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of complex and varied technology environments, bringing deep technical expertise, strategic insight, and a hands-on approach to protect the business from evolving cyber threats.
As a trusted and visible partner to senior leaders worldwide, you’ll bridge global cybersecurity strategy with practical execution on the ground. With the flexibility to work from Johannesburg or Cape Town, you’ll be at the heart of a top-tier global company — driving impact and shaping cybersecurity at scale.
This company is part of a leading global software powerhouse known for its strategic acquisitions and strong growth across diverse industries worldwide, offering excellent opportunities for future career growth within the group.
Requirements:
- A degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Security, or similar
- 7+ years’ experience in cybersecurity, preferably within a complex global software environment
- Proven experience managing cybersecurity in a multinational context
- Strong working knowledge of enterprise security technologies and best practices
- Experience in regulatory compliance and incident response leadership
- Relevant certifications (e.g. CISSP, CISM, CISA) highly desirable
- A collaborative, proactive mindset and the ability to influence at all levels
Key Responsibilities
- Define, implement, and manage the global cybersecurity strategy
- Conduct and oversee risk assessments, compliance audits, and mitigation planning
- Lead cybersecurity incident response processes end-to-end
- Establish and maintain cybersecurity policies, frameworks, and standards
- Manage core security tools and technologies (SIEM, IAM, firewalls, antivirus, etc.)
- Partner with cross-functional teams to embed security into projects and systems
- Drive internal cybersecurity awareness and training across regions
- Maintain and test business continuity and disaster recovery protocols
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Join a globally recognised tech business with a strong, future-focused vision
- Opportunity to grow within a strong global software group with a worldwide reach
- Own and shape cybersecurity strategy across multiple geographies
- Work in a flexible, hybrid setup based in either Cape Town or Johannesburg
- Be part of an innovative, high-trust, and impact-driven environment
