Remote work

<p>Intelance is an independent UK advisory firm and an IASME Certification Body for Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus and IASME Cyber Assurance. We work with mid-market, enterprise and regulated organisations across cyber assurance, governance, architecture and technology risk.</p>
<p>We are appointing a small number of senior Cyber Governance and Risk specialists to our associate panel.</p>
<p>This is not permanent employment. Work will be offered on a project-by-project basis according to client demand, suitability and availability. There is no guaranteed volume of work.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<p>You may be asked to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lead independent cyber governance and risk reviews for complex organisations.</li>
<li>Assess risk appetite, risk ownership, control effectiveness and risk-treatment decisions.</li>
<li>Review policies, risk registers, control mappings, assurance evidence and governance arrangements.</li>
<li>Judge whether evidence supports the conclusions being presented to senior leaders.</li>
<li>Explain cyber risks and control gaps clearly to boards, executives and non-technical stakeholders.</li>
<li>Lead interviews and workshops with CISOs, risk owners, technology leaders and control owners.</li>
<li>Work alongside security architects, technical assessors and other Intelance specialists.</li>
<li>Write clear, defensible and client-ready reports.</li>
<li>Complete scheme-specific training and participate in internal quality reviews where required.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p>You should have:</p>
<ul>
<li>Substantial senior experience in cyber security governance, risk management or formal cyber assurance, normally gained over at least ten years.</li>
<li>Experience working with large, complex or regulated organisations.</li>
<li>Strong evidence of advising boards, executive teams or senior risk committees.</li>
<li>Practical knowledge of recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, Cyber Essentials or equivalent.</li>
<li>Excellent written English. Reports must be ready for clients without heavy editing.</li>
<li>The ability to work independently and challenge weak evidence respectfully.</li>
</ul>
<p>We are particularly interested in applicants who hold:</p>
<ul>
<li>UK Cyber Security Council professional registration at Principal or Chartered level in Cyber Security Governance &amp; Risk Management.</li>
</ul>
<p>We will also consider candidates who can demonstrate experience aligned with Chartered level and are willing to undergo formal professional assessment.</p>
<p>General certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or Lead Implementer are useful, but do not replace the professional registration requirement.</p>
<p>You must be based in the UK, able to attend UK client sites when agreed, and able to contract through a limited company or another compliant arrangement.</p>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<ul>
<li>Senior cyber assurance and advisory assignments.</li>
<li>Flexible associate working based on your availability.</li>
<li>Direct access to Intelance leadership.</li>
<li>Work with experienced governance, architecture and technical-assurance specialists.</li>
<li>Clear scopes, templates and quality-review arrangements.</li>
<li>Potential inclusion in Intelance proposals and associate credentials, subject to agreement.</li>
</ul>
