We're looking for an experienced Cyber Security Risk & GRC Consultant to help transform how a large, complex organisation measures, manages, and communicates cyber risk.

This is a high-impact, business-critical role focused on building a clear, practical, and transparent approach to security risk - with a strong emphasis on compliance frameworks, measurable controls, and decision-ready reporting for governance boards.

Define and implement meaningful cyber security risk metrics aligned to compliance frameworks (e.g. national and international standards)
Establish a robust, repeatable method to measure performance against these frameworks - turning compliance into something measurable, not theoretical
Create clear, transparent data that shows:
Current risk exposure
Performance against controls
Trends and direction of travel over time
Design concise, plain-English reporting for senior stakeholders and governance boards
No jargon - just clear insight, impact, and action
Map compliance frameworks to real business risks, bridging the gap between:
Technical controls
Governance requirements
Operational reality
Build practical reporting artefacts, dashboards, and templates to improve visibility and consistency
Work closely with stakeholders to ensure outputs are:
Credible
Usable
Aligned to executive decision-making needs
Sought: 

Drive a step-change in how cyber risk is measured, understood, and communicated - using compliance frameworks as the backbone, and clear data as the enabler.
Strong experience in Cyber Security GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance)
Proven ability to work with and measure performance against compliance frameworks
Deep understanding of: 
Security risk metrics & KPIs
Risk appetite & governance reporting
Ability to translate technical security data into plain English insights for senior audiences
Strong analytical and data skills - able to turn complex datasets into clear narratives
Solid technical awareness of cyber security principles, controls, and risks (without needing to be hands-on engineering)
Confident engaging with senior stakeholders and governance boards
