We are looking for a Head of External Engagement based in our office, Headquarters in Boadilla del Monte with at least 8 years of experience in Cyber Security, with good awareness of current and emerging cyber threats, the technical environment and the key internal and external processes/policies for preventing and mitigating cyber attacks. It is important that the candidate has sufficient practical hands-on cyber experience to talk with confidence on a broad range of tactical and strategic cyber topics to external partners, but also has the communication, relationship management and organizational skills to devise and launch new initiatives with external parties and execute their delivery on time, to budget and with risks managed.

Your role:

We are looking for a Head of External Engagement, a key team in our technology ecosystem. This area is responsible for leading and coordinating Santander's global external Engagement strategy on cyber security. You will work with a wide range of high-profile external bilateral and multilateral organisations, such as the United Nations, the World Economic Forum and the Organisation of American States, in order to deliver joint strategic and tactical initiatives on cybersecurity. Through these joint projects, your goal is to create a more secure global cybersecurity ecosystem, in which the cost and risk of perpetrating cybercrime is increased, and ultimately the bank's clients are more secure.

You will work with a global scope, coordinating with cyber security leads in all Santander entities to set a clear strategy for external engagement, and to identify and execute global and local-level projects. This will include influencing new external policies and regulations, building cyber capacity through supporting delivery of trainings and wargaming, and communicating clearly and consistently the views of Santander to external partners in key forums and working groups, on key strategic topics like AI risk, cyber-fraud and other new and emerging cyber threats.

Your main tasks will be:

1. Governance: Coordinating a consistent approach to external engagement with the cyber leads in each entity and Global Heads, ensuring that our 'golden messages' are followed in outward communications.
2. Identifying: Looking for new and exciting collaboration opportunities across the globe, where Santander can increase its influence and help create a more secure cybersecurity ecosystem.
3. Delivering: Oversee the delivery of global or locally-led collaboration projects with external projects, ensuring these are delivered on-time, within budget and with risks adequately escalated.
