  • Produce clear risk assessments, reports, and recommendations that support governance, remediation planning, risk acceptance, and informed decision-making.

What We’re Looking For

  • Practical knowledge of threat modelling, vulnerability assessment, security controls, risk assessment methodologies, and remediation planning.
  • Experience assessing applications, infrastructure, cloud services, or technology solutions against security and risk requirements.
  • Strong understanding of cybersecurity frameworks, governance, risk management, regulatory requirements, and security-by-design principles.
  • Clear communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical threats and vulnerabilities into understandable business risks.

Bonus Points For

  • Experience delivering threat and risk assessments within banking, financial services, or another regulated environment.
  • Knowledge of recognised cybersecurity and risk frameworks and industry security standards.
