Interim Cyber Risk Subject Matter Expert
We are seeking an experienced Interim Cyber Risk Subject Matter Expert to provide specialist guidance, challenge, and delivery support across a complex cyber risk environment. The successful candidate will help strengthen the organisation’s approach to identifying, assessing, managing, and reporting cyber risks, while ensuring that risk decisions are aligned with business priorities, regulatory expectations, and recognised industry standards.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing and enhancing cyber risk frameworks, policies, methodologies, and control processes; conducting risk assessments across technology, information, third-party, and change-related activities; and providing clear, practical recommendations to reduce exposure. You will support the development of risk treatment plans, monitor remediation activity, and assess the effectiveness of mitigating controls. The role will also involve preparing concise reports and dashboards for senior stakeholders, translating technical issues into business-focused risk insights, and providing constructive challenge to control owners and delivery teams. You may also contribute to assurance reviews, audit activity, incident investigations, resilience initiatives, and the development of risk appetite and tolerance statements.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber risk, information security, technology risk, or a closely related discipline, ideally gained within a large or highly regulated environment. Strong knowledge of cyber risk management principles, control frameworks, governance processes, and regulatory requirements is essential. Experience with standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, COBIT, or CIS is desirable, as is familiarity with cloud security, identity and access management, vulnerability management, operational resilience, and third-party risk. You will be confident working independently on an interim basis, able to engage effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences, and skilled at producing high-quality written analysis. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent experience would be advantageous.
