Head of Governance, Risk & Compliance
📍 Essex | Hybrid
💷 £80k – £100k | Permanent
I’m recruiting for a Head of Governance, Risk & Compliance with a specialist software provider to the insurance industry.
This is a broad senior role spanning GRC, regulatory compliance, internal audit, Quality Assurance, risk, SDLC governance and AI governance, with a key focus on ensuring software development and releases remain aligned with evolving regulation.
My client already has an established governance environment, including ISO 27001, PCI-DSS and Cyber Essentials Plus, so this is about strengthening and evolving what's already in place rather than starting from scratch.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
I’m looking for someone with:
- Strong GRC/Compliance experience
- Exposure to technology/software and ideally insurance
- An understanding of application development and SDLC
- The ability to interpret regulation and turn it into practical controls
- Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
- Experience across risk, controls and internal audit
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Knowledge of areas such as DORA, NIS2 and CRA would be valuable, but direct DORA experience isn’t essential.
The sweet spot is someone whose background is weighted towards GRC/Compliance, but who has sufficient technology knowledge to work confidently with development and technical teams.
📩 If this sounds like you, or someone in your network, please get in touch for a confidential conversation.
