About the role:

We are looking for a skilled and proactive Cyber GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) Manager to strengthen cyber governance, risk and compliance across the Society. You’ll take ownership of developing, maintaining and evolving our GRC framework, ensuring it aligns with business strategy, regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

In this role, you’ll lead cyber risk identification, assessment and mitigation, maintain the cyber risk register, and provide clear, actionable reporting to senior leaders and governance panels. You’ll support compliance with legislation such as data protection, PCI-DSS and sector-specific obligations, and strengthen policies, standards and controls across cyber security, IT governance, business continuity and disaster recovery.

You’ll plan and deliver risk-based IT audits across on-premise and cloud systems, conduct application control reviews for core IT systems, track remediation progress and confirm closure of risks. You’ll also support external audits, provide cyber and IT subject matter expertise, and help ensure audit and cyber priorities are aligned with the Senior Cyber Security Manager and Cyber Operations Manager.

Collaboration is central to this role—you’ll act as a trusted advisor to colleagues across the business, translating technical cyber risks into clear business-level insight for ELT and governance panels, while building strong cross-Society relationships that balance independence with partnership.
If you’re passionate about cyber governance, risk management and improving organisational resilience, this is a role where you can make a tangible impact.

Strong interpersonal and communication skills, capable of networking effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
