Salary: up to AED 95,000 per month

Exclusive mandate with eMagine Solutions

There are CISO roles that focus on controls. And then there are CISO roles that shape the future of an entire enterprise.

We’re hiring a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in Dubai for a large, highly respected family group with a broad and ambitious portfolio spanning Retail, Real Estate, Technology, Automotive, and F&B (and more). This is a rare opportunity to step into a seat with genuine influence—where security is not a tick-box function, but a strategic enabler of growth, trust, and resilience.

This group is scaling, diversifying, modernising, and investing. That means the security agenda is wide, complex, and high-impact: multiple business units, different risk profiles, varying levels of maturity, and a leadership team that expects clarity, confidence, and results.

If you’re the kind of CISO who can translate risk into decisions, build a security culture without slowing the business, and lead from the front in moments that matter, this one will feel like home.

The mission

As CISO, you will own the enterprise security strategy end-to-end—setting direction, building capability, and ensuring security becomes a competitive advantage across the group.

You’ll be trusted to:

Design and deliver a group-wide cybersecurity strategy and operating model aligned to business priorities
Establish strong governance, policies, standards, and security architecture across diverse entities
Lead cyber risk management: identify, quantify, prioritise, and drive remediation with measurable outcomes
Build and mature incident response, crisis management, and cyber resilience (including tabletop exercises and executive readiness)
Strengthen third-party / supply chain security across vendors, partners, and outsourced services
Oversee security tooling and capability (SOC, SIEM, EDR, IAM, DLP, vulnerability management, cloud security) with a pragmatic ROI lens
Partner with technology and business leaders to enable secure transformation—cloud, apps, data, and enterprise platforms
Drive security awareness and culture so that security becomes “how we operate,” not “what we avoid”
Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing security team (internal + managed partners)

What makes this role different

Real breadth: multiple sectors, multiple operating models, and real-world complexity
Real authority: a seat at the table, not a role buried in IT
Real impact: you’ll shape security maturity across a group that touches customers, assets, data, and critical operations at scale
Real reward: up to AED 95,000 per month for the right leader

The person we’re looking for

You’re a senior security leader who blends executive presence with hands-on credibility. You can zoom out to strategy and zoom in when the situation demands it. You’re calm under pressure, commercially aware, and respected by both technical teams and business stakeholders.

Ideally you bring:

Proven experience as a CISO / Head of Information Security / Director of Cybersecurity in a complex, multi-entity environment
Strong command of security governance, risk, compliance, and security engineering
Experience building or maturing capabilities across SOC, IR, IAM, cloud security, vulnerability management, and third-party risk
Confidence engaging with boards/executives and delivering clear, decision-ready reporting
Familiarity with relevant frameworks and standards (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls)
Strong stakeholder management—able to influence without creating friction
Based in Dubai (or ready to relocate), with regional experience a plus

Process & confidentiality

This search is being handled exclusively by eMagine Solutions. Due to the seniority and sensitivity of the role, discretion is essential. Shortlisted candidates will receive a full briefing.
