Elevation Tech & Transformation are exclusively recruiting for a newly created Cyber Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Lead on behalf of a growing UK organisation.

Reporting to the GISO, you’ll take ownership of cyber governance across the Group, working across multiple subsidiaries to strengthen security, risk and compliance practices.

This is a hands-on, relationship-led role. We’re looking for someone dynamic and pragmatic who is comfortable getting out into the business, building relationships with local teams and turning cyber frameworks into practical improvements.

• Own and develop the Group cyber risk register.
• Develop and embed security policies, standards and governance processes.
• Apply NIST CSF and CIS Controls in a real-world environment — practical implementation experience is essential.
• Support alignment with NIST CSF, CIS Controls and ISO 27001.
• Conduct cyber risk assessments across projects, systems and suppliers.
• Travel to subsidiaries and sites across the UK, building relationships and improving cyber maturity.
• Coordinate audits, assurance and compliance activity.
• Provide clear cyber risk and assurance reporting to senior leadership.
• Support third-party security assurance and supplier risk management.

You’ll have proven experience in Cyber GRC, with demonstrable hands-on experience using NIST CSF and CIS Controls to assess, improve or implement security controls.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Practical and commercially minded, rather than purely policy-focused.
• Confident engaging with technical, operational and senior stakeholders.
• Dynamic and relationship-driven, with the confidence to get out into subsidiaries and build trust.
• Experienced in cyber risk assessments, policies and security governance.
• Comfortable working autonomously and driving change across multiple businesses.

Experience with ISO 27001, GDPR/NIS2, Microsoft 365/Azure, GRC platforms or certifications such as CISA, CISSP or CRISC would be advantageous.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing organisation where you’ll have genuine ownership and the opportunity to shape cyber governance across the Group.
