About the Role

As the Cyber Security Risk Specialist, you will be instrumental in embedding cybersecurity risk practices into day-to-day operations across a large and diverse environment. Under broad direction, you'll take ownership of cyber risk assurance activities, support technology audits, and drive the remediation of risk issues to support a mature, enterprise-wide IT risk management framework.

This is a pure cyber risk role - suited to candidates with experience in professional services, internal/external audit, policy governance, and third-party/vendor risk assessments. You'll partner closely with project and technical teams to assess proposed changes, influence strategic decisions, and uphold cyber resilience.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver and coordinate an annual cyber security assurance program to measure compliance and identify risk.
  • Manage internal and external audit and accreditation activities (e.g. DISP, ISO27001).
  • Conduct cyber risk assessments across projects, platforms, cloud environments, and third-party services.
  • Lead and monitor the remediation of risk and control issues, audit findings, and compliance gaps.
  • Engage with risk owners across the business to support fact-based risk decisions.
  • Contribute to the development and ongoing support of secure, accredited environments.
  • Provide high-quality reporting on risk posture, metrics, and security governance activities.
  • Assist in the ongoing development and implementation of cybersecurity policies and risk frameworks.
  • Support security governance bodies, such as steering committees and working groups.

About You

You're a driven cyber risk professional who blends strong technical understanding with business acumen. With a background in risk consulting, governance, or audit (ideally within a professional services or complex enterprise environment), you're confident navigating competing priorities and engaging with stakeholders at all levels.

What You'll Bring

  • Relevant tertiary qualifications or equivalent demonstrated competency.
  • Substantial experience in cybersecurity risk management, IT audit, or compliance.
  • Deep understanding of security risk, controls, threats, and technologies across cloud, infrastructure, and application environments.
  • Strong familiarity with risk frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, COBIT.
  • Hands-on experience with risk assessments, policy management, and third-party/vendor risk.
  • Industry certifications such as CRISC, CISM, CISSP, or ISO27001 Lead Implementer are highly regarded.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills - able to engage with both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Exceptional organisational skills and a proactive, solutions-focused mindset.

Working Arrangement

Enjoy a flexible hybrid working model with 3 days WFH and in-office attendance on Tuesdays and Thursdays, fostering both collaboration and work-life balance.
