Head of Cybersecurity

A career at Booksy means you're part of a global team focused on helping people around the world feel great about themselves, every day. From empowering entrepreneurs to build successful businesses to supporting their customers in arranging 'me time' moments, we're in the business of helping people thrive and feel fantastic.

Working in an ever-changing, scale-up where things are messy, and resources are limited isn't for everyone. If you thrive in a stable environment with big budgets, clear processes, and structures then, if being honest, we're probably not for you. However, if you love bringing order to chaos, inventively solving problems, and prioritising your own path within ambiguity, then you're likely to love it here.

As Head of Cybersecurity, reporting to the Director of Enterprise Technology in our Security Team, your purpose will be to lead and shape our cybersecurity strategy, ensuring our products and internal systems are protected against emerging threats.
