You're either the sort of person who gets risk, or you're not.

The ones who do? They know it’s not just about ticking boxes, waving around ISO badges, and hoping no one notices the gaps. It’s about actually knowing where the holes are - and what to do about them before they become tomorrow’s fire.

This global business already has a decent-sized team in the US. Now they want someone on the ground in the UK who can do more than just nod along in meetings.

They want someone who can see risk from a mile off, document it properly, and then explain it in a way that doesn’t put the board to sleep. Someone who can look at controls and say, “Yeah, that’s solid” - or, more importantly, “That’s a disaster waiting to happen.”

You'll be reporting into the Director of Performance & Governance, but you’ll have a fair amount of room to run with things. They’re not looking to micromanage you. They’re looking for someone who can take ownership and centralise controls across teams.

You’ll need to have worked in a global setup before. You should know your ISO27001s from your SOXes, and ideally have a decent grip on DORA and ITGCs too.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A solid understanding of technology risks (not just “cyber stuff”)
• Experience in a global business
• You can test controls and write it all up clearly
• You’ve worked in regulated environments (finance/insurance etc)
• You’re comfortable talking to the board without needing 100 slides

Salary - Upto £75,000 + 10% Bonus

Location - You'll need to be in their Manchester office 3 days per week.
