Security Risk and Compliance Management Specialist V - UK
We are seeking an experienced Security Risk and Compliance Management Specialist to support the development, implementation and continuous improvement of information security risk and compliance practices across a complex UK operating environment. This is a senior-level role requiring sound judgement, strong stakeholder management and the ability to translate regulatory and security requirements into practical business outcomes.
You will manage the identification, assessment and treatment of information and cyber security risks, maintaining accurate risk registers and reporting material issues to relevant governance forums. Working with business and technology teams, you will develop remediation plans, monitor progress and provide clear, evidence-based advice on risk acceptance, mitigation and escalation.
Key responsibilities will include supporting security and compliance frameworks, policies, standards and procedures; coordinating internal and external assurance activities; preparing audit evidence; and tracking findings through to effective closure. You will assess the security implications of new services, suppliers, projects and operational changes, contributing to security reviews, control design and ongoing control effectiveness assessments.
The role will also involve monitoring changes in applicable legislation, regulation and industry good practice, helping to assess their impact and embedding resulting requirements into the control environment. You will produce management information and risk reports, identify trends and provide constructive challenge where controls or processes do not meet the required standard. Building trusted relationships across technical and non-technical teams will be essential.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information security risk, governance, compliance or assurance, ideally within a large or regulated environment. You will have a strong understanding of recognised security and risk frameworks, audit principles, control testing and third-party risk management. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 or equivalent experience, are desirable.
You should be confident communicating with senior stakeholders, capable of managing competing priorities and comfortable working independently on complex matters. Strong analytical, written and organisational skills are essential, along with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving and a commitment to maintaining high standards of confidentiality, integrity and professionalism.
