Senior Cyber Risk & AI Governance Consultant
6-Month Contract | Outside IR35 | Hybrid
We’re working with a large, complex organisation looking for an experienced Senior Cyber Risk & AI Governance Consultant to support an evolving portfolio of cyber governance, risk and assurance work.
The role will have a particular focus on AI governance and cyber risk, helping the organisation establish practical governance around the use of AI while supporting wider security, compliance and assurance requirements.
This is a hands-on delivery role, suited to someone who can work independently, bring structure to developing requirements and translate governance expectations into practical processes and controls.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement proportionate AI governance frameworks, policies and standards.
- Assess AI use cases across operational, research and corporate environments.
- Establish practical AI risk assessment, approval and oversight processes.
- Develop and maintain risk registers, governance reporting and supporting documentation.
- Assess security, privacy, third-party and regulatory risks associated with AI adoption.
- Support wider cyber risk, governance, compliance and assurance activities.
- Strengthen controls, evidence and reporting across sensitive or externally governed programmes.
- Work closely with technical teams, senior leaders and non-technical stakeholders.
- Translate complex risk and governance requirements into practical processes that can be adopted across the organisation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
