We are seeking a Lead Cybersecurity GRC Consultant to provide strategic guidance across governance, risk and compliance activities. In this role, you will lead the development, implementation and continuous improvement of cybersecurity frameworks, policies, standards and control environments. You will work with technology, privacy, legal, internal audit and business stakeholders to identify information security risks, assess their potential impact and ensure that appropriate mitigation plans are defined, owned and tracked.
Your responsibilities will include leading risk assessments, control reviews, compliance readiness activities and third-party security assessments. You will map regulatory and industry requirements to internal controls, support audit preparation and remediation, and produce clear reports for senior leadership and risk committees. You will also oversee governance processes, including risk acceptance, policy exceptions, security metrics, control testing and issue management. The role will involve mentoring other GRC professionals, improving processes and promoting a risk-aware culture across the organisation. You may also contribute to security strategy, incident lessons learned, business resilience and the development of security awareness initiatives.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance, with a strong understanding of frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, COBIT, CIS Controls or equivalent. Experience interpreting regulations and contractual requirements, conducting risk and control assessments, and engaging with auditors and senior stakeholders is essential. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CISA or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor are highly desirable. You should be confident communicating complex security matters to both technical and non-technical audiences, able to influence at all levels and skilled at managing multiple priorities in a changing environment. Strong analytical, writing and stakeholder-management skills are required, along with a practical, collaborative approach to cybersecurity risk.
