🚀 Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Manager | £45,000 – £48,000 | UK, Security-Cleared Environment
A strong opportunity for an GRC professional to take ownership of a growing risk and compliance function within a security-cleared environment. You'll develop, implement and maintain the organisation's governance, risk management and compliance frameworks — working across the full risk landscape including operational, regulatory, cybersecurity, financial and third-party risk.
If you're an GRC professional ready to lead compliance and governance at a senior level in a high-assurance environment, this is well worth a conversation.
✨ Why this role stands out:
- Genuine strategic ownership — shape and lead the GRC function rather than maintain an existing one, with direct input into policy, risk frameworks, audit coordination and board-level reporting
- Broad risk exposure across operational, regulatory, cyber, financial and third-party domains within a complex, security-cleared environment — including defence-relevant frameworks such as DCC, Secure by Design and JSP 453
- Active support toward recognised industry certifications (CISA, CRISC, CISM, CISSP), with backing to grow your profile as the function matures
