SUMMARY:
ð¢ Calling All IT Audit Wizards & Cybersecurity Crusaders! ð¡ï¸Are You the Cyber Sentinel We’ve Been Byte-ing For?ð¡ï¸

POSITION INFO:
Location: Johannesburg East
Industry: FMCG & Manufacturing
Department: Freshly Built & Ready to Grow

We’re on the hunt for a tech-savvy trailblazer who can do more than talk the tech talk - we want someone who walks the walk, boots up confidently, and doesn’t crash under pressure. This is not your average plug-and-play role, you’ll be pioneering and building the entire IT audit and cybersecurity function from scratch, brick by digital brick.

If ITGC makes you tick, and cybersecurity makes your firewall light up with joy, then you just might be the subject matter expert we need to keep business secure, smart, and audit-ready.

ð ï¸ Key Duties:

ð Lock It Down – Develop and implement IT audit and cybersecurity frameworks, policies, and best practices across the business
ð§ Be the SME – Act as the go-to guru on ITGC, cyber risk, IT governance, and all things digital defence
ðï¸ Build from Byte One – Design and set up the internal IT audit function, creating processes and protocols where none exist
ð§ Lead the Way – Guide audit teams and the wider business on IT risk, controls, and compliance - no hand-holding required (you’re the one doing the holding!)
ðµï¸‍âï¸ Investigate & Integrate – Lead ITGC reviews, cyber risk assessments, and vulnerability management initiatives
ð Report Like a Pro – Translate tech-speak into boardroom gold with actionable insights and strategic recommendations
ð¤ Collaborate & Conquer – Partner with IT, internal audit, and leadership to foster a cyber-conscious culture across the enterprise

ð¯ We’re Looking For Someone Who:

Holds relevant certifications (CISA, CISSP, CRISC, or similar = extra sparkle)
Has 10+ years of hands-on IT audit and cybersecurity experience (FMCG/manufacturing industry exposure is a big bonus!)
Has expert-level knowledge of IT general controls, cyber risk frameworks, and regulatory requirements
Can confidently design, lead, and own an entire IT audit and cyber function - no training wheels here!
Is a natural leader who communicates clearly and works cross-functionally with ease

ð¥ Why Join?:
My client is an industry leader in the FMCG space, and they’re gearing up for the future. You’ll be given a blank digital canvas and the backing of a powerhouse company to make your mark. No red tape, no rigid structures, just a real opportunity to create, lead, and protect.

If you're ready to firewall and conquer and bring your best tech game, then let’s encrypt a brighter future together.

ð§Apply today — this isn’t a drill, it’s the real (cyber) deal!
