Are you a confident, capable V-Ciso / GRC consultant ready to influence strategic security change? Looking for your next senior step in a supportive, agile consulting team? This could be the role for you.

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. You'll work closely with SME and retail-sector clients, acting as a trusted advisor across longer-term engagements - shaping security strategy, influencing stakeholders, and driving real change.

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 3^rd 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
