We are looking for an experienced GRC Manager to join a growing Information Security function within a PE-backed international organisation undergoing significant growth and transformation. Reporting directly to the Director of Information Security, you'll take ownership of Governance, Risk and Compliance activities across the business, with an immediate focus on supporting the organisation through ISO 27001 certification. This is an opportunity to have genuine ownership. We're not looking for someone who has simply contributed to GRC within a large team; we need someone who understands how to take frameworks, controls and best practice and implement them effectively within a lean, fast-moving organisation. The Role You'll take ownership across: Driving the organisation's ISO 27001 certification journey and ongoing ISMS maturity. Developing and maintaining security policies, standards and governance frameworks. Managing information security risks, risk registers, treatment plans and remediation. Coordinating audit evidence, control assessments and audit readiness. Supporting compliance with NIS2, NCSC CAF, GDPR and Cyber Essentials.

End-to-end ownership of ISO 27001 controls, evidence, audits and remediation. Experience managing security risks and driving actions through to completion.

You'll need the confidence to challenge and influence people across the organisation, translating complex security risks into clear business language for audiences ranging from technical teams through to senior executives. We're open on industry background. More important is your ability to operate autonomously, adapt best practice to a lean environment and take genuine ownership rather than being one part of a large GRC function. Why Join? The organisation is undergoing significant growth, including acquisitions across Europe, making Information Security an important part of its wider transformation and value-creation strategy. You'll work directly with the Director of Information Security, have access to specialist external partners and wider group security expertise and can shape how GRC develops as the organisation continues to scale. There will also be occasional travel to other UK and European locations. At Gleeson Recruitment Group, we embrace inclusivity and welcome applicants of all backgrounds, experiences, and abilities. We are proud to be a disability confident employer. By applying you will be registered as a candidate with Gleeson Recruitment Limited.

In this role, you'll assess IT and cyber risks, drive improvements in our cyber maturity, collaborate with a variety of internal and external partners, and enable UK Power Networks to maintain its license to operate by demonstrating a strong and sustainable security posture. We're looking for someone with practical experience in GRC, audit, or cyber security, and with relevant training in cyber risk assessment. You should have a deep knowledge of at least three specialist areas such as industry standards, operational controls, risk management, business continuity, or supply chain security.
