Senior Technical Consultant - Security GRC

Highly proficient written and spoken English at an executive, audit, and client-delivery standard. Grammar, structure, and tone must be consistently professional. You can explain a control failure, a residual-risk position, or a quantified scenario to an engineer, an auditor, and a board member in the register each expects. A writing sample or timed drafting exercise may be required.

Demonstrated senior consulting or equivalent client-advisory experience: scoping ambiguous problems, facilitating senior workshops, managing difficult stakeholders, producing commercial-quality deliverables, defending recommendations under challenge, and transferring methods to the client. Internal GRC operations experience alone is not sufficient unless you can show the same client-facing muscle.

Frameworks (all required, with working depth—not acronym familiarity)

NIST Cybersecurity Framework

NIST SP 800-53

NIST SP 800-171

CIS Controls

CRI Profile

ISO/IEC 27001 (working command of 27002 expected)

Risk (required) End-to-end risk management (identify, analyze, evaluate, treat, accept, monitor) and risk quantification (scenarios, ranges, expected loss or equivalent, explicit assumptions). “High / medium / low” without a method is not qualification.

Experience and education Roughly 5+ years in security GRC, risk, audit, or control assurance, including substantial time in consulting, professional services, or a comparably senior client-advisory capacity. Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience. Seniority is judged by judgment, writing, and client impact—not title inflation.
