Project Manager - Cybersecurity & AI Experience

Role Purpose

Lead the end-to-end delivery of AI-enabled cybersecurity capabilities that reduce risk and improve detection, response, and resilience.

You’ll coordinate cyber, data, engineering, and risk/control stakeholders to take use cases from concept to production—safely, compliantly, and with measurable outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Delivery leadership (end-to-end)
• Own delivery plans, milestones, dependencies, and RAID across multiple cyber-AI workstreams.
• Run delivery cadence (Agile/Hybrid), ensuring predictable execution and clear reporting to senior stakeholders.
• Translate cyber priorities into deliverable backlogs and release plans (MVP scale).
• Cyber AI use cases (typical scope)
• Security operations (SOC): alert triage, correlation, enrichment, prioritisation.
• Threat detection: anomaly detection, UEBA-style patterns, phishing/malware classification support.
• Vulnerability management: risk-based prioritisation, remediation insights.
• Identity & access: behavioural signals, privileged access monitoring.
• GenAI for cyber: analyst copilots, investigation summarisation, playbook assistance (with guardrails).
• Data, engineering & platform coordination
• Partner with cyber engineering, data science, and platform teams to ensure:
• Data sourcing, quality, lineage, and access approvals.
• Secure model deployment patterns (e.g., isolated environments, secrets management).
• Monitoring for model performance, drift, and operational health.
• Risk, controls & responsible AI (critical)
• Ensure alignment with information security, privacy, model risk management, and regulatory expectations.
• Drive documentation and approvals: model cards, threat modelling, DPIAs (where needed), validation evidence, audit trails.
• Implement guardrails for GenAI: prompt controls, data leakage prevention, human-in-the-loop, logging, and incident response.
• Stakeholder management & governance
• Establish governance forums (working group/steerco), decision logs, and escalation paths.
• Communicate progress in plain language: outcomes delivered, risk posture, and next steps.
• Coordinate third parties/vendors where applicable and manage delivery outcomes.
• Value realisation & operational readiness
• Define success metrics (e.g., reduced MTTD/MTTR, improved precision/recall, analyst time saved, fewer false positives).
• Drive adoption: training, runbooks, support model, and handover to BAU operations.
• Track benefits post-release and iterate based on SOC feedback and performance data.

Required Skills / Experience

• Proven delivery leadership for complex cyber and/or data/AI initiatives (multi-team, enterprise scale).
• Strong understanding of cybersecurity operations and controls (SOC processes, incident response, detection engineering concepts).
• Working knowledge of AI/ML lifecycle and MLOps/ModelOps concepts (deployment, monitoring, drift, retraining).
• Experience delivering in regulated environments with strong governance and audit requirements.
• Excellent stakeholder management and ability to influence across cyber, tech, and risk functions.

Desirable Skills / Experience

• Experience with SIEM/SOAR ecosystems and security telemetry (e.g., logs, EDR, network, IAM signals).
• Familiarity with threat modelling (e.g., STRIDE), adversarial ML considerations, and secure AI patterns.
• GenAI delivery experience with enterprise guardrails (RAG, red-teaming, prompt injection mitigation).
• Cloud security and data governance exposure.
