Senior Consultant - Governance, Risk & Compliance

Job Requisition ID: 41108 

• Be part of market-leading projects with global scale and complexity

• Reimbursements for professional development and subsidised qualifications

• Enjoy 18 weeks paid parental leave plus 12 months of return-to-work support (work 4, get paid 5)

 

What will your typical day look like?

In this role, you'll work across governance, risk and compliance engagements that help clients identify security threats, assess control effectiveness, and improve how risk is managed and reported. That could mean maintaining risk registers, running internal audits against frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST CSF or the ISM, and supporting the development of policies, standards and procedures that align with regulatory obligations and business priorities.

Your work will help clients make better decisions about where to focus their attention, investment and remediation efforts. From assessing third-party risk to analysing patterns in non-compliance or emerging issues, you'll turn complex information into clear, actionable advice that strengthens control environments and supports more resilient organisations.

Along the way, you'll collaborate with technical specialists, project teams and business stakeholders to embed security-by-design into new initiatives and systems. The work is varied, fast-moving and grounded in real-world client challenges, with opportunities to support broader programs including occasional short-term international travel.
