Lead Cybersecurity GRC Consultant
We are seeking a Lead Cybersecurity GRC Consultant to provide strategic leadership across governance, risk, and compliance initiatives. This role will help strengthen the organisation’s cybersecurity posture by translating business objectives, regulatory obligations, and industry standards into practical security policies, controls, and improvement programmes. You will work closely with technology, risk, legal, audit, privacy, and business stakeholders to promote a consistent, risk-based approach to information security.
Key responsibilities include leading cybersecurity risk assessments, control reviews, maturity assessments, and remediation planning; maintaining and improving security governance frameworks; and supporting compliance with applicable regulations, contractual requirements, and recognised standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, or SOC 2. You will coordinate internal and external audits, manage evidence collection, track findings and corrective actions, and prepare clear reports for senior leadership and risk committees. The role will also contribute to third-party risk management, policy development, security exception processes, metrics and dashboards, business continuity activities, and the ongoing enhancement of the cybersecurity control environment.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance, ideally gained in a complex or regulated environment. You will be confident interpreting regulatory and assurance requirements, assessing control effectiveness, and communicating risk clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong stakeholder management, consulting, analytical, and written communication skills are essential, along with the ability to lead initiatives, influence decision-making, and manage competing priorities. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Auditor, or equivalent experience are desirable. A pragmatic, collaborative approach and a commitment to continuous improvement will be important for success in this position.
