Cyber Risk Advisory - Subject Matter Expert
(Contract opportunities/Hybrid working/UK wide)
Who We Are
At Grant Thornton, we're building something bold. We're doing things differently - looking to the future, driving ambitious growth, and pioneering positive change in our industry. Providing audit, tax, and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. And we empower our people with real opportunity. Our journey from great to exceptional is well underway. With significant investment behind us and a clear strategy for growth, there's real momentum.
Our Agile Talent Community (ATC)
Our Agile Talent Community (ATC) brings together experienced contract professionals who want choice without losing connection. You work where you add the most value, alongside teams who treat you as a partner rather than a placeholder.
Grant Thornton's Cyber Advisory team is rebuilding and growing its talent pool to support a strengthening pipeline of client work spanning cyber maturity assessments, governance and controls, third-party risk, and emerging technology advisory. We're looking for experienced cyber professionals to join our Agile Talent Community and deliver Grant Thornton-led advisory engagements for clients across financial services and beyond.
If you're a Cyber risk advisory subject matter expert, you'll bring frameworks and controls expertise first, with enough risk knowledge to challenge control design and effectiveness. This is assessment and advisory support rather than pure risk assurance, with a particular focus on identity, cloud security, AI security controls, and third-party risk — the areas seeing the most client demand right now. Engagements typically run 3-6 months initially, with strong potential to extend as our client programme grows.
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.
You can engage with us through your own limited company or on inside IR35 terms - whichever way gives you the freedom you're looking for.
Skills We Are Looking For
- Strong grounding in cyber frameworks and controls, with the risk expertise to challenge control design and effectiveness
- Experience in identity, cloud security, AI security controls, or third-party risk is beneficial
- Comfortable working as advisory/cyber maturity assessment support rather than pure risk assurance
- Financial services or other regulated-sector experience is a plus, not essential
