We’re looking for Governance, Risk and Compliance consultants to join our cybersecurity team. The projects and roles we take on are diverse, so we need professionals who can combine relevant experience with the right mindset.

Our clients, typically the Chief Information Security Officer, are looking for advice and support for their security transformations.

• Identification, analysis and implementation of information security processes and controls.
• Measurement and reporting on the information security posture of an organization.
• Support the CISO in both the operational security responsibilities and in the transformation journeys, by providing advice and support.

Skills and attributes for success

• Master’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent through experience.
• Professional experience (between 2 – 5 years), either in consulting or in the financial sector.
• An understanding of the current challenges a CISO faces, and how to transform information security from an IT concern to a business enabler.
• A good understanding of how risk-based decision taking takes place in a business environment.
• Familiarity with industry standards and best practices including the ISO 27000 series.
• Proven client stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Strong team spirit, balanced by a healthy sense of autonomy.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP / CISM are considered a plus for more experienced candidates.
