Senior GRC / Security Assurance Officer
We are seeking a Senior GRC / Security Assurance Officer to lead and support governance, risk and compliance activities across a complex technology and information security environment. This role will help strengthen security assurance practices, maintain compliance with applicable regulatory and industry requirements, and provide clear, practical advice to stakeholders at all levels. The successful candidate will work closely with security, technology, risk, legal, audit and business teams to ensure that security controls are appropriately designed, implemented, monitored and evidenced.
Key responsibilities include maintaining security policies, standards, procedures and control frameworks; coordinating risk assessments, control reviews, audits and assurance activities; tracking remediation plans and reporting progress to senior stakeholders; and preparing concise management information, risk papers and compliance reports. You will support third-party and supplier assurance, review security questionnaires and due diligence evidence, and help assess the security implications of new projects, products and services. The role will also contribute to incident and issue management, business continuity and resilience activities, security awareness initiatives, and the continuous improvement of governance processes and controls.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information security governance, risk management, compliance, audit or security assurance, ideally within a regulated or highly controlled environment. You will have strong knowledge of recognised security and risk frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, COBIT or CIS, together with an understanding of data protection, regulatory expectations and third-party risk. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISA, CISM, CRISC, CISSP or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, are desirable. Excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as is the ability to translate technical and regulatory requirements into clear business actions. You should be organised, pragmatic and confident working independently while managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
