Interim Third party Cyber Oversight Specialist
We are seeking an Interim Third-Party Cyber Oversight Specialist to provide expert assurance and governance across the organisation’s supplier and outsourcing landscape. This role will focus on assessing and managing cyber security risks arising from third parties, helping to ensure that external providers meet required security, resilience, privacy and regulatory standards. The successful candidate will work closely with procurement, technology, risk, legal and business stakeholders to strengthen oversight practices and support informed risk-based decision-making.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing third-party security assessments, due diligence questionnaires, audit reports, penetration testing results, remediation plans and contractual security requirements. You will identify control gaps, evaluate the potential impact of supplier risks, maintain accurate risk and issue records, and provide clear recommendations for mitigation or acceptance. The role will also involve monitoring ongoing compliance, supporting supplier reviews, escalating material concerns, and contributing to the development of consistent policies, procedures, reporting and governance forums for third-party cyber risk.
The ideal candidate will have proven experience in third-party risk management, cyber security assurance, supplier governance or a closely related discipline, gained within a complex or regulated environment. You should have a strong understanding of information security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, SOC 2 or equivalent, as well as familiarity with cloud services, outsourced technology, data protection and operational resilience. Excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to challenge constructively, translate technical issues for non-technical audiences and manage competing priorities. This interim assignment will suit a proactive specialist who can quickly understand existing processes, deliver practical improvements and operate effectively with limited supervision.
