• Contribute to internal audits, external assurance activities, and certification readiness engagements

• Assist clients in tracking security metrics, evidence, and ongoing compliance obligations

• Help deliver workshops, awareness sessions, and practical guidance to embed good security practices

What We’re Looking For

• Experience contributing to security assessments, audits, or compliance initiatives

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with confidence working directly with clients

• A proactive, structured approach to problem‑solving and documentation
