Director - Cyber, ER & I

Connect to your Industry

Cyber security is critical to every organisation. Across the Energy, Resources and Industrials sector (ER&I), organisations are modernising complex operational environments, adopting new technologies and transforming how they manage cyber risk and resilience. We need you to join us and help clients secure critical services, protect business value and deliver transformation with confidence.

You will build strong relationships as part of our Cyber practice, within Technology and Transformation. Cyber security is a business problem, not just a technical problem, and we need people with a diverse range of backgrounds and skill sets to help our clients solve the challenges they face. Join us and you will help clients address their most significant cyber security and technology resilience priorities, in a business with strong growth ambitions and outstanding opportunities for professional development.

Our work includes:

• Advising executives on pragmatic, actionable cyber strategies and enterprise-wide transformation priorities.
• Applying a risk-based approach to emerging technologies and supporting secure digital and operational transformation.
• Designing and delivering secure-by-design transformation programmes across business, IT and operational technology environments.
• Assessing and improving cyber operating models, technology resilience, recovery capabilities and the management of cyber risk.

We operate in fast-paced environments, defining and leading cyber strategies, major transformation programmes and improvements to cyber and technology resilience. We are looking for an experienced Director who thrives on solving the toughest challenges faced by Energy, Resources and Industrials organisations.

This is a market-making leadership role. You will shape our sector strategy, build trusted C-suite relationships, originate and win complex opportunities, and lead the delivery of high-impact cyber, technology resilience and wider transformation programmes. You will connect deep cyber expertise with the commercial judgement, industry insight and leadership required to grow the business and deliver measurable client outcomes.

Our projects vary greatly, and your responsibilities will differ based on the focus of a client engagement or proposal. Your role is likely to include:

• Developing and executing a market strategy for cyber within Energy, Resources and Industrials, identifying priority clients, emerging needs and areas for sustainable growth.
• Building trusted relationships with key client stakeholders and decision-makers, including Board members, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, technology leaders, operational leaders and transformation executives.

• Producing high-quality market and client materials, including go-to-market plans, points of view, proposals, executive presentations and client deliverables.
• Leading major client engagements, often across multiple concurrent programmes, with accountability for outcomes, quality, financial performance, delivery excellence and senior stakeholder confidence.
• Advising clients on how to build and embed resilience across people, process, technology, data, suppliers and operational environments.
• Shaping cyber strategies, operating models, governance frameworks, investment roadmaps and secure-by-design transformation approaches.
• Leading assessments and benchmarking across cyber maturity, technology resilience, recovery, architecture, service management and operational processes.
• Directing the design and implementation of resilient technology solutions, including enterprise backup and recovery, cyber recovery, resilient cloud architectures, network resilience and solutions for catastrophic cyber disruption or outage.
• Supporting technology and wider transformation programmes by defining business and technical requirements, evaluating options, designing target states, and embedding sustainable capabilities into the operating environment.
• Leading recovery planning, testing and exercising, failover automation, data resilience, resilient migration and the implementation of practical operating processes.
• Providing clear, authoritative advice to client executives and teams, translating complex cyber and technology issues into business decisions, priorities and investment choices.
• Developing practice capability, repeatable methods, propositions, alliances and talent to respond to changing sector demand.
• Contributing to the eminence of the Cyber and Technology Resilience team through market insight, thought leadership and external profile.
• Supporting and promoting an inclusive, high-performance team culture, developing future leaders and deploying diverse teams effectively.

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm.

This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm).
