  • Policy Development: Develop and implement security policies, procedures, and standards that support risk mitigation and compliance efforts.
  • Hands-On Engagement: Play an active, hands-on role in security initiatives and GRC activities, including incident management, vulnerability assessments, and compliance reviews.

What you will need?

  • CISA, CRISC, or CISSP certification (required).
  • Strong understanding of security governance, risk, and compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and COBIT.
  • Proven leadership skills with the ability to guide and mentor teams, as well as influence and collaborate with senior stakeholders in a similar GRC, security, or risk management role.
  • A hands-on approach with the ability to balance strategic oversight with direct involvement in security tasks.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly and effectively to non-technical stakeholders.
