University of Cambridge Institute of Professional and Continuing Education
About us
Our mission is to enable professional and continuing education throughout life, and to widen access to higher education. We design, deliver and curate a portfolio of world leading short courses and award bearing qualifications in a broad range of disciplines.
The Digital Skills Team at Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) plays a pivotal role in advancing the University of Cambridge's mission to widen access to high-quality, research-informed education. Our interdisciplinary team designs and delivers pioneering career accelerator programmes that bridge the gap between academic rigour and industry relevance. Building on the success of the Data Science Career Accelerator, we are launching the Cybersecurity Strategy & Leadership Accelerator - a programme developed in partnership with FourthRev that equips working professionals with the strategic, governance, resilience, and crisis-leadership capabilities needed to guide organisations through an AI-amplified cyber threat landscape. Our work spans curriculum co-creation, content development, industry engagement, and the establishment of a growing portfolio of digital credentials that are trusted by employers.
The Role
Designed for cybersecurity professionals ready to move from specialist practice into security leadership, the programme develops the skills to translate cyber intelligence into business action, lead risk and governance conversations, manage incident and crisis response, and shape security transformation in complex organisations. The programme covers strategic threat intelligence, cyber risk assessment, threat modelling, ransomware resilience, security governance, compliance, third-party risk, cyber-physical systems, AI-enabled cyber risk, and emerging technologies. It is delivered flexibly for working professionals, with online learning, expert-led live sessions, leadership coaching, and a Cambridge Leadership Immersion.
