🚀 Freelance Information Security Consultant

💼 Supporting a Leading Cybersecurity & Risk Organization

Please note: The assignment begins on January 1st as an initial 3-month contract, with the possibility of extension based on performance and project needs.

Are you passionate about creating clear, structured, and audit-ready security documentation that strengthens an organization’s maturity and compliance posture? Join a high-performing internal cybersecurity and risk department as they build a modern, scalable security documentation function from the ground up.

In this role, you’ll transform complex technical requirements into accessible, high-quality policies and standards, collaborating with diverse teams to ensure alignment with leading frameworks and audit requirements. This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on organizational readiness, clarity, and operational excellence while enjoying autonomy, flexibility, and a genuinely collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop, write, and maintain high-quality security policies, standards, and procedural documentation across multiple organizational levels.
• Structure and organize complex information into layered, easy-to-navigate documentation sets.
• Ensure audit readiness by aligning documentation with relevant controls and cybersecurity frameworks.
• Build a user-friendly, “living” policy handbook or knowledge base rather than static documents.
• Collaborate closely with security teams, operations, and department leads to gather insights and validate requirements.
• Use AI-driven tools to enhance content quality and accuracy while critically evaluating outputs.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Policy Writer, Information Security Consultant, or similar documentation-focused role.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, concise, and structured documentation.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks, audit processes, or compliance requirements strongly preferred.
• Skilled in researching, evaluating, and validating technical information.
• Comfortable working in a hybrid environment with flexibility and international stakeholders.
• Contract type: Freelance (3 months initial)
• Start date: January 1st
• Extension: Possible based on performance and project needs
• Work setup: Hybrid, minimum 1 on-site day per week (2 days initially)

Why This Role Is Attractive

• Join a talented, fun, and forward-thinking cybersecurity team.
• Contribute to a newly developed security documentation function with real organizational impact.
• Help shape documentation frameworks and introduce modern, AI-enhanced workflows.
• Direct influence on audit readiness, compliance, and overall security maturity.
• Enjoy an open, collaborative environment that values clarity, communication, and continuous improvement.
