Interim Third party Cyber Oversight Specialist
We are seeking an experienced Interim Third-Party Cyber Oversight Specialist to strengthen the management and assurance of cyber security risks arising from suppliers, outsourcing arrangements and other external partners. This interim role will provide practical oversight across the third-party lifecycle, helping to ensure that security requirements are clearly defined, assessed and monitored in line with internal policies, regulatory expectations and recognised industry standards.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing supplier security assessments, due diligence questionnaires, independent assurance reports and risk evidence; identifying control gaps and documenting associated risks; and recommending appropriate remediation actions or mitigating controls. You will work closely with procurement, legal, technology, information security, risk and business stakeholders to support the onboarding, renewal and ongoing monitoring of third parties. The role will also involve maintaining accurate risk records, preparing management information, escalating significant concerns and tracking remediation activity through to completion. You may be asked to contribute to the development and improvement of third-party risk processes, standards, templates and reporting dashboards.
The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience in third-party cyber risk, supplier assurance, information security governance or a closely related discipline. You should be confident interpreting security frameworks and control requirements, reviewing technical and non-technical evidence, and translating findings into clear business-focused recommendations. Experience with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, SOC 2 or equivalent assurance standards would be advantageous, as would familiarity with cloud, outsourced technology and critical supplier risk. Strong communication, stakeholder management, analytical and organisational skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and make sound judgements in a time-sensitive interim environment. Relevant professional certifications in cyber security, risk, audit or supplier management are desirable but not essential.
