  • Develop security strategies, governance models, policies, standards, target operating models and executive decision materials.
  • Improve reusable advisory assets and quality practices, coach colleagues, share knowledge and monitor market, regulatory and threat developments. 

What you need to succeed:

  • Substantial experience in cybersecurity advisory, GRC, security program management or a related consulting discipline, with senior-level credibility.
  • A solid understanding of the cybersecurity challenges, regulatory requirements, and risk landscape within the financial services industry.
  • Strong knowledge of recognised frameworks and standards such as DORA, NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001, EBA guidelines, NIST CSF, CIS Controls and relevant regulatory requirements.
  • Demonstrated experience conducting assessments, engaging senior stakeholders and producing concise, evidence-based and actionable recommendations.
  • A disciplined consulting mindset: curious, analytical, objective and collaborative, with sound judgement and a focus on measurable customer value.
  • Excellent written, communication and presentation skills in English; additional languages relevant to assigned markets are an asset.
  • Relevant higher education or equivalent professional experience; certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Lead Auditor are an advantage.
