Über diese OT Cyber Security Manager Stelle bei Smith+Nephew
Smith+Nephew · Vor Ort · UK - Watford
Life. Unlimited. At Smith+Nephew we design and manufacture technology that takes the limits off living.
Are you passionate about securing the technologies that power modern manufacturing? This is a rare opportunity to lead and shape global OT cybersecurity strategy in a highly regulated, purpose driven medical technology environment. You will play a critical role in protecting operations that directly impact patient outcomes while enabling innovation and digital transformation across our global manufacturing network.
What will you be doing?
You will take ownership of our global OT cybersecurity programme, setting the direction and ensuring it is embedded into how our manufacturing technologies are designed, operated and supported. Working at the intersection of cybersecurity, IT, engineering and manufacturing, you will guide a diverse set of stakeholders to manage risk while maintaining operational continuity.
Day to day, you will define governance, lead risk management activities and provide technical oversight across OT environments, ensuring alignment with leading standards such as IEC 62443 and NIST frameworks. You will collaborate closely with OT architecture and engineering teams, influencing design decisions and supporting secure modernisation initiatives across manufacturing sites.
You will also act as the cybersecurity lead for major OT projects, ensuring security by design is applied from the outset. In parallel, you will coordinate incident response activities, ensuring rapid and effective handling of OT security events. Through strong partnerships across regions and functions, you will embed cybersecurity into everyday operations, creating a consistent and sustainable global approach.
What will you need to be successful?
Success in this role comes from your ability to combine strategic leadership with deep technical understanding, while influencing across a complex global environment.
You will bring:
- Strong experience in OT or industrial cybersecurity within manufacturing or critical infrastructure environments, with a clear understanding of ICS technologies and risks
- Proven ability to lead programmes and influence across engineering, IT and business stakeholders without direct control of implementation teams
- Solid knowledge of recognised frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIST SP 800 82, NIST CSF and ISO standards
- Experience leading teams and developing capability while fostering collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement
You will be someone who can communicate clearly at all levels, build trust quickly and guide decision making in situations where operational risk, compliance and innovation must all be carefully balanced.
