Lead Cyber Security Assurance Consultant
We are seeking a Lead Cyber Security Assurance Consultant to provide expert guidance, challenge, and assurance across a broad range of technology, information security, and business change initiatives. You will assess security risks, review the effectiveness of controls, and ensure that services and projects meet applicable policies, regulatory obligations, and industry standards. This is a senior role requiring strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to influence decisions at all levels.
Key responsibilities will include leading security assurance reviews across projects, suppliers, applications, infrastructure, cloud services, and operational processes; identifying control weaknesses and advising on practical remediation plans; and producing clear, evidence-based reports for senior management and governance forums. You will contribute to the development and continual improvement of security assurance methodologies, standards, and control frameworks. The role will also involve supporting risk assessments, reviewing security architecture and designs, monitoring remediation activity, and providing constructive challenge where security requirements are not being met.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cyber security assurance, governance, risk, compliance, audit, or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of security principles, risk management, and control frameworks. Experience of standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or equivalent is desirable, as is knowledge of cloud security, third-party risk, secure development, and modern technology environments. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent experience would be advantageous. You will be analytical, pragmatic, and comfortable translating complex technical issues into clear business impacts and recommendations. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and build effective relationships with technical teams, delivery leads, and senior stakeholders.
