Interim Third party Cyber Oversight Specialist
We are seeking an Interim Third-Party Cyber Oversight Specialist to strengthen the oversight of suppliers, outsourcing partners and other external service providers. This role will help ensure that third-party relationships meet required cybersecurity, information security, privacy and operational resilience standards. You will assess supplier risk, review control environments and provide practical recommendations to improve the management of external dependencies across the organisation.
Key responsibilities will include conducting cyber and information security assessments during supplier onboarding, periodic reviews and significant changes to services. You will analyse security questionnaires, independent assurance reports, penetration-testing summaries, policies, risk registers and remediation plans, identifying gaps and assessing their potential business impact. The role will maintain accurate third-party risk records, track issues through to resolution and prepare clear management information, including risk summaries, trends, exceptions and escalations. You will also support the development and continuous improvement of third-party risk management processes, assessment methodologies, control requirements and reporting standards.
The successful candidate will have proven experience in third-party risk management, cyber assurance, information security governance or a closely related discipline, ideally within a regulated or complex business environment. You should be confident interpreting common security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2 or equivalent, with an understanding of cloud services, data protection, business continuity and operational resilience. Strong analytical, written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with the ability to challenge constructively, engage stakeholders at different levels and translate technical findings into clear business risks and actions. Experience using third-party risk or governance, risk and compliance platforms is desirable. This interim assignment requires a self-directed professional who can quickly understand existing processes, manage competing priorities and deliver measurable improvements within a defined timeframe.
