Technology and Cyber Security Risk Audit Lead
We are seeking a Technology and Cyber Security Risk Audit Lead to provide independent assurance over the effectiveness of technology, information security and cyber risk management practices. This is a senior role for an experienced audit professional who can combine strong technical understanding with commercial awareness, sound judgement and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels. You will help shape risk-based audit plans, identify emerging threats and provide practical recommendations that strengthen governance, resilience and regulatory compliance.
Key responsibilities will include leading complex audits across areas such as cyber security, IT infrastructure, cloud services, identity and access management, data protection, third-party risk, business continuity and technology change. You will define audit scope and objectives, assess key controls, review policies and procedures, analyse technical and operational evidence, and oversee testing performed by audit team members or external specialists. You will prepare clear, concise reports for senior management and relevant governance committees, agree appropriate management actions, and monitor the timely remediation of identified issues. The role will also contribute to continuous improvement of audit methodology, risk assessment processes and the use of data analytics or other technology-enabled assurance techniques.
Applicants should have significant experience in technology, cyber security or IT risk auditing, ideally gained within a complex or regulated environment. A relevant professional qualification, such as CISA, CISSP, CRISC, CIA or an equivalent certification, is desirable. You will bring a strong understanding of recognised control frameworks and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST, COBIT or ITIL, together with experience assessing cyber threats, control design and operating effectiveness. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the confidence to challenge constructively, build trusted relationships and explain complex issues to non-technical audiences. The successful candidate will be organised, analytical and collaborative, with a proactive approach to identifying risks and delivering high-quality assurance.
