We're hiring a GRC / vCISO Consultant to join a fast-growing, high-calibre UK-based security consultancy. This is a remote-first role, open to experienced professionals based in the UK.

The Role:
- Lead and deliver complex GRC engagements, operating at both a strategic and tactical level
- Build trust with clients, challenge assumptions diplomatically, and influence senior stakeholders
- Provide guidance across security frameworks and standards such as ISO27001, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, Cyber Essentials, SOC 2
- Drive security maturity and risk management initiatives tailored to each client's needs
- Understand buyer behaviour and how organisations really work - beyond checklists and assumptions
What You'll Bring:
- Strong 3rd Party / Professional Services consulting experience, ideally in SME, retail, or commercial environments
- Experience navigating delivering LONGER V-Ciso style engagements, GRC, risk frameworks, and regulatory compliance (we're not looking for an auditor!)
- A background in Cyber, Cloud or Networking is useful - even if not current/up to date.
- Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, PCI etc. are great - but your professionalism and confidence matter most
You:
- A natural communicator and relationship builder - confident, but never arrogant
- Able to simplify complexity and bring clarity to clients
- Able to respectfully challenge and shape beliefs, educate, share
- Someone who thrives on collaboration and delivering tangible impact
- UK-based and eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship
Why Join?
- Salary up to £110,000 + benefits package
- A people-first consultancy with a great manager and team
- Long-term client partnerships, not just short one-off projects, where you never see the outcome.
- Autonomy, respect, and a chance to shape client outcomes at a strategic level
