The role

The Cyber Risk and Governance Analyst will drive EVT's security governance, risk management, and compliance initiatives. This role is critical in shaping and maintaining our security posture across internal operations, projects, and third-party relationships.

You'll support the development of risk frameworks, design and enforce security policies aligned with NIST 2.0 and PCI DSS, and lead insurance and third-party/supplier risk activities, while providing technical assurance through activities such as penetration testing coordination and configuration reviews. This is a hands-on position accountable to the Information Security and Group Business IT functions.

Key responsibilities

• Build and maintain EVT's security governance framework and policies, using Vanta to automate control evidence and compliance monitoring, and reporting on governance maturity to senior leadership.
• Lead EVT's PCI-DSS compliance framework and annual certification lifecycle, including QSA assessments, control matrix maintenance, and cardholder data environment governance.
• Build and maintain the cyber and IT risk management framework and risk register, embedding risk management into project delivery and change initiatives.
• Manage penetration testing and security assurance vendors, and coordinate configuration reviews of critical systems and cloud environments.
• Assess and manage third-party and vendor security risk, maintaining the vendor risk register and enforcing contractual security requirements.
• Collaborate with technology and business teams to deliver information security outcomes and drive continuous improvement across the function.

• Strong working knowledge of recognised frameworks and standards: NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, ISO, and SOC2.
• Demonstrated experience managing third-party and supplier cyber security risk in a corporate environment.
• Experience supporting audits, regulatory engagements, and executive-level reporting.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication, and influencing skills.
• Ability to operate independently and provide strategic guidance in a complex organisational environment.

• Exposure to cloud and outsourced service risk management (AWS, Azure, SaaS providers) is desirable.
• Experience implementing or uplifting third-party risk management frameworks or GRC tooling is desirable.
• Tertiary qualification in information security, IT, risk, law, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• Relevant certifications are highly regarded, for example CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CISA, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Auditor.

How you work
