GRC Strategy - Senior Consultant UK Remote to £110k

GRC Strategic Senior Consultant - UK Remote - Up to £110,000 + Benefits

Are you a confident, capable Senior GRC consultant with experience in setting direction and strategy, helping immature organisations create workable, actionable roadmaps for their Cyber / Risk Strategy? This role could be for you.

We're hiring a Senior GRC/Risk/Cyber Consultant with experience in longer projects to join a fast-growing, high-calibre UK-based security consultancy. This is a remote-first role, open to experienced professionals based in the UK. You'll work closely with SME and retail-sector clients, acting as a trusted advisor across longer-term engagements—shaping and benchmarking security strategy and progress, influencing stakeholders, and driving real change.

The Role:

• Lead and deliver long-term strategic GRC engagements, operating at both strategic and tactical levels.
• Build relationships with clients, challenge assumptions diplomatically, and influence senior stakeholders.
• Provide guidance across security frameworks and standards such as ISO27001, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, Cyber Essentials, SOC 2 where appropriate.
• Plan and drive multi-year programmes of work to remediate, achieve objectives, and enable business growth.
• Understand buyer behaviour and how organisations really work—beyond checklists and assumptions.

What You'll Bring:

• Strong 3rd Party / Professional Services consulting experience, ideally in SME, retail, or commercial environments.
• Experience delivering longer V-CISO style engagements, GRC, risk frameworks, and regulatory compliance (internal experience or as a CISO is a plus).
• A background in Cyber, Cloud, or Networking is useful—even if not current/up to date.
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, PCI are valuable, but professionalism and the ability to drive meaningful change matter most.

You:

• Are a natural communicator, listener, and relationship builder—confident but humble.
• Can simplify complexity and bring clarity to clients.
• Can respectfully challenge and shape beliefs, educate, share, define, and plan.
• Thrive on collaboration and delivering tangible impact.
• Are UK-based and eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship.

Why Join?

• Salary up to £110,000 + benefits package.
• A people-first consultancy with great management and team.
• Long-term client partnerships, not just short projects, where you see real outcomes.
• Autonomy, respect, and a chance to shape client outcomes at a strategic level.
