The posting

Waracle is looking for a Head of InfoSec for an exciting new role with our world-class digital technology consultancy and a diverse, smart, curious, and ambitious community of specialists in technology-driven transformation.

We work with ambitious clients to help them solve their biggest business and customer challenges. We help our clients to innovate and create intelligent digital products and services. We thrive on complex challenges and deliver business-critical IT transformation projects, moving seamlessly from strategy, design and delivery to operations.

This is a hybrid role and can be based in Dundee, Edinburgh or Glasgow

Are you a forward-thinking security professional who loves empowering teams, protecting critical infrastructure, and bringing modern tech solutions to life? As our Head of InfoSec, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our security landscape. You will collaborate with cross-functional partners to keep our platforms resilient, guide our clients through complex security decisions, and ensure our continuous compliance. If you thrive in a collaborative, supportive environment where your technical expertise directly drives business impact, we would love to welcome you to the team.

Key aspects of the role include:

  • Security Testing & Education: Drive internal security awareness, run phishing simulations, and proactively identify and work to resolve vulnerabilities across the business ecosystem.
  • AI Tooling Ownership: Own the commercial and security lifecycle of internal AI tools. Monitor consumption, control throttling, manage API costs, and ensure teams are using AI platforms cost-effectively.
  • AI Enablement & Selection: Act as a key advisor to the business on AI adoption. Evaluate use cases, select the right AI tools for the job, and establish safe-use guidelines to protect data pipelines and prevent leakage.
  • Independent Audit & Compliance: Lead technical audit preparations and continuous evidence gathering for Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001, acting as an independent assessor to our internal IT support team.
  • Incident & Threat Management: Act as the lead first responder during cybersecurity incidents—guiding containment, recovery, and clear reporting while proactively adapting our defences against emerging threats. Leading and evolving our Security Operations Centre (SOC).
  • Commercial Pre-Sales Support: Advise on client security questionnaires and demonstrate our robust cyber and AI security posture to prospective partners.

Research shows that underrepresented groups tend to apply only for roles they believe they meet 100% of the criteria for. At Waracle, we want to buck that trend. We hire for passion, potential and mindset as much as credentials. If you think you'd be incredible in the role, then apply - even if you don't think you tick every box.

What you'll bring

  • Hybrid Security Background: Solid experience in Information Security and IT infrastructure, backed by a strong understanding of how to safeguard networks, secure coding practices, and cloud environments.
  • AI & Cloud Commercial Awareness: Hands-on experience or a strong interest in AI governance, SaaS vendor management, supplier management, and managing API costs or usage throttling.
  • Compliance Familiarity: Proven experience preparing for technical audits and working with industry frameworks such as Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001.
  • Communication: Strong communication skills with the ability to demystify and confidently articulate complex security and AI concepts to clients, sales teams, and internal engineers.
  • Incident Response: A cool-headed, collaborative approach to threat hunting, incident response, containment, and post-incident reporting.
  • Enablement Mindset: You enjoy working directly with teams to help them adopt modern technology safely and efficiently, using security frameworks to enable business growth

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
