• Strong hands-on experience within GRC functions covering risk, controls, and governance

Role Overview

You will join an established Cyber Governance and Risk team to support risk assessments, governance embedding, and ongoing ISO-aligned control activity during a period of team change and transformation. The role involves working closely with technology and business stakeholders to ensure governance practices are understood, applied, and sustained. This is not a tick-box compliance role. You will contribute to governance uplift, third-party risk activity, BAU processes, and ensure leadership has clear, accurate risk visibility across technology and change initiatives.
