Digital, Cyber Governance Assistant Manager

Succeed by shaping what matters

We're BDO, one of the UK's largest accountancy and business advisory organisations, helping ambitious businesses, their owners and management teams navigate a changing world.

With circa 8,500 people across the UK and Ireland, backed by a global network spanning 169 countries, there's lots of knowledge, experience and different thinking to draw on here. But what matters is what you bring to it; your ideas, perspectives - the things you care about getting right.

So, here's where you come in:

The team you'll join

At BDO, our Consulting practice brings together different areas of expertise to help organisations solve complex problems and make better decisions. We work across the mid-market, public sector and large enterprises, supporting clients through growth, change and new challenges.

Our multidisciplinary approach means we can bring together the right people and perspectives for the problem in front of us, whether that's helping an organisation grow, become more resilient or work differently.

We work as one community of consultants, sharing our expertise and learning from each other as we go. Whether we're working with scale-ups or global institutions, our approach is consistent: we listen, we challenge, and we work with our clients to find a way forward.

The Digital team within Consulting helps our clients create competitive advantage and uncover new avenues of growth and profitability through digital strategies. Strategies need to be bold, but they also need to deliver near-term results. That's why we take a practical approach that marries long-term vision with quick wins and measurable ROI milestones. Our vision is to be a fully integrated, business-led, end-to-end technology advisor and integrator helping clients to enable business change through leveraging technology.

The role you'll have

You'll be an Assistant Manager within our growing Digital, Cyber Governance team. You'll play key role in delivering high-quality client engagements, developing and mentoring team members, and support in the continued growth of our practice. You'll combine strong technical expertise with excellent stakeholder management skills, helping organisations navigate evolving technology risks while driving operational and control improvements.

This role offers significant opportunity to develop specialist expertise in payment security, regulatory compliance and cyber governance

You'll be someone with:

• Practical experience supporting compliance, advisory or assurance engagements against industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Experience in conducting control assessments, compliance reviews or audits against security and risk management frameworks.
• Practical experience within Cyber Security, Information Security, Technology Risk, IT Audit, or Operational Risk.
• Knowledge of cyber security frameworks including: ISO 27001/27002/NIST Cybersecurity Framework/COBIT/ CIS Controls
• Experience supporting clients through compliance assessments, control testing, remediation planning and governance reporting activities.
• Experience managing small teams and working collaboratively with strong project management and organisational skills to manage multiple engagements

You'll have people around you to learn from, ask questions and share thoughts with, alongside learning programmes to enhance your skillset and digital platforms to ease your work. All of this helps you succeed in achieving those big (and personal) dreams.

How you'll succeed

You'll have plenty of ways to develop at BDO; you might build deeper expertise in what you already do, take on something new or simply get better at the things that matter to you.

How and where you work matters too. Our agile working framework is designed around our Better Together approach: bringing more in-person time with clients and teams, creating more opportunities to share ideas, build confidence and develop day-to-day.

Whatever success looks like to you, you won't be shaping it alone. You'll have people around you who want you to do well, and plenty of opportunities to make it all count.

That's how we'll all continue to succeed by shaping what matters.
