We are seeking an experienced Lead Cybersecurity GRC Consultant to provide strategic direction and hands-on leadership across governance, risk and compliance activities. In this role, you will advise senior stakeholders on cybersecurity risk, regulatory obligations and control effectiveness, while helping to strengthen security governance and embed sustainable risk management practices across the organisation. You will lead complex engagements from assessment through to remediation, ensuring that security objectives are aligned with business priorities.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining cybersecurity policies, standards, frameworks and control libraries; conducting risk assessments, control reviews, maturity assessments and compliance gap analyses; and preparing clear reports, risk registers and remediation plans for executive and audit audiences. You will coordinate internal and external audits, support regulatory and client assurance activities, and monitor the timely resolution of findings. The role will also involve mapping controls to recognised frameworks and regulations such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, PCI DSS and applicable privacy requirements. You will lead workshops, mentor colleagues and collaborate closely with technology, privacy, legal, procurement, internal audit and business teams.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance, ideally gained in a consulting, advisory or enterprise environment. You will bring strong knowledge of information security frameworks, risk methodologies, audit processes and regulatory expectations, together with the ability to translate technical issues into practical business recommendations. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor are desirable. Excellent communication, stakeholder management, analytical and report-writing skills are essential, as is the confidence to influence at senior levels and manage multiple priorities. A proactive, collaborative approach and a commitment to continuous improvement will be highly valued.
