Senior Director – Cybersecurity Operations

Hiring: Senior Director – Cybersecurity Operations - Emirati Nationals Only

We're supporting a leading organisation in Abu Dhabi with the appointment of a Senior Director of Cybersecurity Operations, reporting directly to the VP of IT.

This is an opportunity for a technically strong cybersecurity leader who combines deep operational security expertise with strategic leadership and enterprise architecture experience.

Key areas of experience:

• SOC, Incident Response & Threat Detection
• SIEM, EDR/XDR, SOAR & Vulnerability Management
• IAM/PAM, Network Security & Security Architecture
• Cybersecurity Strategy & Team Leadership
• NIST CSF, ISO 27001 & local Information Assurance

Ideally 5–10+ years' experience, although we're open to candidates with less experience who demonstrate strong technical capabilities and leadership potential.

CISSP and/or CISM certification preferred.

Please note: This position requires a strong technical cybersecurity background rather than a primarily GRC or compliance-focused profile.
