You can hold a credible conversation about cloud architecture, data platforms, platform engineering, and AI workloads without being an engineer Direct experience working with AWS and or Microsoft as a partner: understanding how co sell programmes work, how to build productive relationships with cloud provider field teams, how partner pipeline is sourced and progressed, and how to use marketplace and MDF commercially Experience leading and coaching a cloud alliance or partner BDR function, or an equivalent outbound function focused on channel and ecosystem sourced pipeline A track record of hitting and exceeding revenue targets both personally and as a team leader, in businesses where deal values typically range from £250k to £5M and above Why join Appvia?

You will report directly to the CEO, sit on the leadership team, and own Appvia's new business revenue motion across private sector accounts. You will inherit an active team; this is not a standing start hire. There are people, pipeline, and relationships already in motion. What is needed now is a leader who can come in quickly, understand what we do and who we sell to, and immediately elevate the team's performance, focus, and output. The primary focus of the role is services revenue across cloud, data and AI, and managed cloud, with an exciting opportunity to support the commercial launch of Wayfinder as an agentic developer platform. The right candidate will have a strong services background and understand how to use product to open and expand those relationships. This is a player coach role, with both a personal new business contribution and accountability for the team's collective target. You are as comfortable leading from the front on strategic deals as you are coaching the team and building the structure that drives consistent performance.

You can hold a credible conversation about cloud architecture, data platforms, platform engineering, and AI workloads without being an engineer Direct experience working with AWS and or Microsoft as a partner: understanding how co sell programmes work, how to build productive relationships with cloud provider field teams, how partner pipeline is sourced and progressed, and how to use marketplace and MDF commercially Experience leading and coaching a cloud alliance or partner BDR function, or an equivalent outbound function focused on channel and ecosystem sourced pipeline A track record of hitting and exceeding revenue targets both personally and as a team leader, in businesses where deal values typically range from £250k to £5M and above Why join Appvia?

HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL
City Of Westminster, London
Head of Cyber Security WCC623727 Salary range: £79,005 - £109,833 per annum. Salary negotiable depending upon experience. Work location: Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, Westminster, SW1E 6QP Hours per week: 36 Contract type: Permanent Vetting requirements: Standard DBS Check Closing date: 04 May 2026 Interview dates: There will be an in person assessment at Westminster City Hall on 11 May 2026, followed by interviews on 20 May 2026 Role As Head of Cyber Security you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster's success. This is a senior security role, where the focus is on helping the organisation do its best work - with security built in, not bolted on. Responsibilities You will lead the Cyber Security team and shape the Council's security strategy and policies, making sure they are practical and fit for a local government environment. Working closely with colleagues across Digital and Innovation, and alongside the Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) and the Data Protection Officer (DPO), you will help embed security into everyday decision making and into how services are delivered. A big part of the role is about continuous improvement. You will lead work to strengthen the Council's security posture, aligning with industry standard control frameworks and staying on top of the wider threat landscape, including the specific risks facing local government. You'll help the organisation balance delivery, risk and compliance - supporting informed choices rather than blocking progress. You will provide clear leadership and direction for the Cyber Security team, including managing the budget for people, tools and capital projects. You'll oversee business as usual security activity, from incident response and vulnerability management through to security engineering improvements and protecting the Council's supply chain. You'll also be a visible advocate for good security culture. You will drive change across the organisation by promoting secure by design principles, embedding security into the Software Development Lifecycle, and supporting teams to make safer choices when selecting products and services. Through security communication and engagement campaigns, you will help build understanding and shared ownership of security at all levels. The role has a strong external and operational dimension too. You will represent the Council in local, national and international forums and partnerships, sharing insight and learning from others. You will also play a key role in responding to major incidents - supporting Borough Emergency Control Centre activation, taking part in the emergency rota, and coordinating responses with the Executive Team, the Security Operations Centre and cyber incident response partners. Qualifications You bring a strong, practical understanding of cyber security and how it supports real business outcomes. You've worked with recognised standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and Cyber Essentials, and you know how to apply information and security legislation - including GDPR, FOI and PCI DSS - in ways that enable delivery rather than restrict it. You also stay close to the evolving threat landscape and understand the organisational challenges that come with managing risk in a local government context. Your technical background gives you deep knowledge of modern security practices across services, infrastructure, hosting and platforms, including open source technologies and modern software development approaches. You're comfortable working across cloud and on premise environments, using tools such as identity and access management, SIEM, firewalls and secure remote access. You understand DevOps and SecOps ways of working, are used to operating at pace in a culture of continuous release, and can set clear service and development standards. You're confident balancing client, organisational and technical needs, and making the trade offs that shape strategy and direction. You've worked closely with senior stakeholders and across multiple teams, bringing people together around complex decisions. With experience building and securing complex services in code, you understand how security design choices play out in practice, not just in theory. You communicate clearly and in understandable terminology, bridging the gap between technical detail and user centred outcomes. You can assess services, identify risks and vulnerabilities, and work with others to design secure, proportionate solutions that reduce risk while keeping services accessible. Comfortable influencing strategy, policies and behaviours, you adapt your approach as needed and stay effective in a fast changing environment. Equal Opportunities and Diversity Westminster City Council is committed to supporting Care Leavers into the workplace. Care leavers seeking their first job and who wish to be considered under our scheme, will automatically be invited to interview should they meet the essential criteria for the role. The Council is committed to achieving diverse shortlists to support our desire to increase the number of staff from under represented groups in our workforce. We especially encourage applications from a Global Majority (GM), people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual heritage, indigenous to the global south, and/or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities' (formally known as B.A.M.E, Black, Asian and Multiple Ethnic) background and, while the role is open to all applicants, we will utilise the positive action provisions of the Equality Act 2010 to appoint a candidate from a global majority background where there is a choice between two candidates of equal merit.
