Full Job Description

Field CISO EMEA ## **About Mimecast** Mimecast is a global cybersecurity leader redefining how organisations secure human risk. Our AI-powered, API-enabled Human Risk Management platform is purpose-built to protect organisations from the full spectrum of cyber threats — integrating cutting-edge technology with human-centric pathways to deliver visibility, strategic insight, and decisive action. More than 42,000 businesses worldwide trust Mimecast to keep ahead of an ever-evolving threat landscape. We are one of only three vendors globally to achieve Leader status in both the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Email Security and DCGAS. Our platform spans email security, insider risk management (Incydr), human risk awareness and training (Mimecast Engage), and the Human Risk Command Center — a single pane of glass that scores, surfaces, and enables action on human risk across an entire organisation. Most recently, we expanded Incydr into runtime data security, providing unified visibility across both human and AI agent risk. Across EMEA, Mimecast has established offices in Dubai, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Bengaluru, Melbourne, and Sydney — meaning the Field CISO is not parachuting into a region from afar, but stepping into a geography where Mimecast already has genuine presence, colleagues, and customer relationships. Through our Resilience Together corporate social responsibility programme, we also invest time, resources, and funds in underserved communities across the regions in which we operate — a signal of long-term commitment that matters in markets where vendor credibility is built over years, not quarters. ## **About the role:** We are looking for a Director-level Field CISO to join our Security function, reporting directly to the Global Field CISO. Based in London with two days per week in the office, you will serve as the primary trusted security advisor across our most strategic accounts in EMEA — a region spanning the Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
