Job description

This Head of Risk and Cyber Security role reports into senior leadership and the board as the primary advisor on risk posture and security strategy at Foodics, a restaurant management platform and payment technology company processing over 6 billion orders across more than 35 countries. The position owns establishing, leading, and maturing the organization's enterprise risk management and information and cyber security functions in equal measure. You will design and maintain the ERM framework, risk appetite statement, and risk registers, leading periodic risk assessments across business units and consolidating findings into board and ERM committee reporting. Emerging operational, strategic, financial, regulatory, and reputational risks get identified early, with mitigation planning driven alongside process owners. Business continuity and disaster recovery planning sit under direct ownership, alongside risk based input that supports internal audit and compliance functions. Information security strategy, policies, and controls get developed and executed, with threat detection, vulnerability management, incident response, and penetration testing programs all overseen directly. Cyber incident response planning runs through this role too, acting as incident commander during security events and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations and industry certifications. The risk and security team gets built, led, and developed, with regular posture updates presented to executive leadership and the board or risk committee.
