Information Risk Analyst
We are seeking an Information Risk Analyst to support the identification, assessment and management of information and technology risks across the organisation. In this role, you will work with stakeholders across business, technology, security, compliance and audit functions to promote effective risk management and strengthen the protection of information assets. You will help ensure that risks are understood, appropriately documented and managed in line with internal policies, regulatory expectations and recognised industry standards.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining risk and control registers, conducting risk assessments, reviewing security and operational controls, and supporting the development of mitigation plans. You will monitor outstanding actions, challenge risk owners where appropriate and provide clear updates on risk exposure, trends and emerging issues. The role will also involve supporting third-party and supplier risk assessments, contributing to business continuity and resilience activities, and assisting with internal and external audits. You may be required to prepare management reports, develop risk metrics and assist with awareness initiatives that improve understanding of information risk across the organisation.
The successful candidate will have experience in information security, technology risk, governance, compliance, audit or a related discipline. You should be confident analysing complex information, identifying control weaknesses and explaining risk clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Familiarity with frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, COBIT or similar is desirable, along with an understanding of data protection, access management, vulnerability management and incident response principles. Strong written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications in information security, risk or audit would be advantageous.
