Lead Cybersecurity GRC Consultant
We are seeking an experienced 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 policies, standards, procedures and control frameworks. You will work closely with technology, security, legal, privacy, audit and business stakeholders to ensure that security risks are identified, assessed and managed in line with organisational objectives and regulatory expectations.
Key responsibilities include leading enterprise security risk assessments, maintaining risk registers and treatment plans, and advising on appropriate mitigation strategies. You will coordinate internal and external audits, support regulatory and client assurance activities, and oversee the collection and validation of evidence for compliance reviews. The role will also involve mapping controls to recognised frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2 and relevant data protection requirements. You will prepare clear reports for senior leadership, communicate complex risk matters to non-technical audiences, and mentor colleagues involved in cybersecurity governance and assurance. You may also contribute to third-party risk management, security assessments for new initiatives, metrics development and the continuous improvement of GRC processes and tooling.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in cybersecurity governance, risk management, compliance, audit or assurance, ideally within a complex or regulated environment. Strong knowledge of security frameworks, control design, risk methodologies and regulatory obligations is essential, together with practical experience managing audits and stakeholder relationships. Professional certifications such as CISA, CISM, CRISC, CISSP, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor are desirable. You will be confident working independently, managing competing priorities and influencing stakeholders at all levels. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to translate technical issues into clear business risks are required.
