Cyber Risk Assessment Lead
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Risk Assessment Lead to strengthen the organisation’s ability to identify, evaluate and manage information and technology risks. In this role, you will lead cyber risk assessments across business functions, technology environments, suppliers and strategic initiatives, providing clear insight into potential threats, control weaknesses and required improvements. You will work closely with senior stakeholders, security specialists, technology teams, risk owners and audit colleagues to ensure that cyber risks are understood, appropriately prioritised and managed within agreed risk tolerances.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining risk assessment methodologies, standards, templates and reporting practices; planning and conducting qualitative and quantitative assessments; reviewing security controls and evidence; analysing threat scenarios and business impacts; and documenting findings, recommendations and remediation plans. You will monitor action progress, challenge risk acceptance decisions where appropriate, and produce concise reports and dashboards for governance forums and senior leadership. The role will also contribute to the development of risk appetite, control assurance, security architecture reviews, third-party risk assessments and continuous improvement of the wider cyber risk management framework.
You will bring substantial experience in cyber security, technology risk, information security or a related discipline, with a strong background in conducting and leading risk assessments in complex environments. Knowledge of recognised frameworks and standards such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001, COBIT, CIS Controls or equivalent is expected. Professional qualifications in cyber security, risk management, audit or information systems are desirable. You should be confident interpreting technical information, translating it into business-focused advice and influencing stakeholders at all levels. Strong analytical, written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities. Experience with governance, risk and compliance tools, regulatory requirements, cloud environments and third-party assurance would be advantageous.
