Intelance is a UK-based technology and compliance consultancy that provides on-demand enterprise architecture, cybersecurity compliance, and AI strategy services. Since 2019 it has helped organisations of all sizes design scalable enterprise architectures, achieve certifications such as Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001, and apply AI to optimise operations like supply chains. Intelance positions itself as a partner for digital transformation, offering enterprise architects, cybersecurity specialists, and AI practitioners to support audit-readiness and technology-driven business value.

📋 Description

• Lead independent cyber governance and risk reviews for complex organisations. • Assess risk appetite, risk ownership, control effectiveness and risk-treatment decisions. • Review policies, risk registers, control mappings, assurance evidence and governance arrangements. • Judge whether evidence supports the conclusions being presented to senior leaders. • Explain cyber risks and control gaps clearly to boards, executives and non-technical stakeholders. • Lead interviews and workshops with CISOs, risk owners, technology leaders and control owners. • Work alongside security architects, technical assessors and other Intelance specialists. • Write clear, defensible and client-ready reports. • Complete scheme-specific training and participate in internal quality reviews where required.

🎯 Requirements

• Substantial senior experience in cyber security governance, risk management or formal cyber assurance, normally gained over at least ten years. • Experience working with large, complex or regulated organisations. • Strong evidence of advising boards, executive teams or senior risk committees. • Practical knowledge of recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, Cyber Essentials or equivalent. • Excellent written English. Reports must be ready for clients without heavy editing. • The ability to work independently and challenge weak evidence respectfully. • UK Cyber Security Council professional registration at Principal or Chartered level in Cyber Security Governance & Risk Management is preferred. We will also consider candidates who can demonstrate experience aligned with Chartered level and are willing to undergo formal professional assessment. • General certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or Lead Implementer are useful, but do not replace the professional registration requirement. • Must be based in the UK, able to attend UK client sites when agreed, and able to contract through a limited company or another compliant arrangement.

🏖️ Benefits

• Senior cyber assurance and advisory assignments. • Flexible associate working based on your availability. • Direct access to Intelance leadership. • Work with experienced governance, architecture and technical-assurance specialists. • Clear scopes, templates and quality-review arrangements. • Potential inclusion in Intelance proposals and associate credentials, subject to agreement.
