Lead the Charge in Cybersecurity: Senior Manager of Supply Chain, Cyber Risk

Take the helm of a critical cybersecurity transformation at EDF, where your leadership and expertise will play a vital role in protecting the integrity of our global supply chain.

The Opportunity

As Senior Manager of Supply Chain, Cyber Risk, you’ll guide high-stakes negotiations, ensure compliance, and collaborate with top-tier legal and procurement teams to safeguard EDF’s operations in an evolving cyber landscape.

In this pivotal role, you’ll be responsible for rolling out cybersecurity terms and conditions (T&Cs) across EDF’s supplier base, ensuring they meet the stringent standards required in today’s regulatory environment.

Leveraging your deep expertise in cybersecurity, you’ll lead the implementation of these T&Cs, working closely with legal teams and vendors to handle negotiations, compliance issues, and any contractual challenges.

This role isn’t just about maintaining standards; it’s about leading a company-wide transformation in how EDF approaches cybersecurity within its supply chain.

Your leadership will help solidify EDF’s position as a leader in both the energy sector and in cybersecurity.

Pay, Benefits, and Culture

Alongside salary range starting from £66,400 + DOE, and a market-leading pension scheme, we offer a range of flexible benefits to support our people across all aspects of their lives.

At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need.

We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.

What You’ll Be Doing
Your key responsibility will be leading the rollout and negotiation of EDF’s cybersecurity terms and conditions (T&Cs) with suppliers.

With a legal framework already in place, your role will involve coordinating with legal experts to adjust or defend contract clauses when suppliers challenge them.

This is where your strong negotiation skills come in, as you’ll need to ensure that EDF’s critical security standards are upheld without compromising essential relationships with suppliers.

You will categorise suppliers based on their cybersecurity risk level, tailoring your approach to each segment. High-risk suppliers may require more rigorous oversight and stricter contractual terms, while medium and low-risk suppliers will have proportionate management strategies.

Your procurement expertise will be essential as you drive the programme forward, ensuring contracts are rolled out efficiently and in alignment with the broader cybersecurity transformation.

With a central focus on cybersecurity, you will be responsible for aligning existing suppliers with updated terms while ensuring new suppliers adhere to these standards from day one.

Your role will also include continuous improvement—working with internal stakeholders across IT, Legal, and Procurement to ensure that EDF’s cybersecurity framework evolves with industry standards and threats.

Who You Are
You bring a wealth of experience in cybersecurity and procurement, with a strong track record of managing large-scale contract rollouts. Your in-depth knowledge of cybersecurity principles and regulatory requirements allows you to navigate the complexities of vendor security standards and supplier risk management with confidence.

You’ve managed the implementation of critical terms and conditions in complex supply chain environments, and you’re comfortable leading negotiations when suppliers push back. Your ability to categorise suppliers based on cyber risk, coupled with your strong commercial instincts, ensures that you can make informed decisions that balance risk mitigation with commercial relationships.

Collaborating closely with legal teams, you understand how to protect EDF’s interests while navigating the nuances of contractual language.

Certifications like CISSP, CISM, or ISO27001 LA demonstrate your commitment to excellence in cybersecurity, and your leadership skills enable you to manage a fast-paced, high-stakes program.

Closing Date: 07/11/2024

Ready to take the lead in a role where your expertise will shape EDF’s cybersecurity strategy?

This is your opportunity to drive lasting change in an industry-leading organization and make a significant impact on the future of supply chain security at EDF.
