Guide business on IT risk, controls, and compliance
Lead ITGC reviews, cyber risk assessments and vulnerability management initiatives

Holds relevant certifications (CISA, CISSP, CRISC or similar)
Has 10+ years of hands-on IT audit and cybersecurity experience
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
Is a natural leader who communicates clearly and works cross-functionally with ease

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.
