Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Lead in United Kingdom

Job description

Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Lead – Outside IR35 Contract (6 months initial)

• Remote (UK-based, with occasional travel)

A global manufacturing group is looking for a hands-on GRC Lead to redesign, implement, and embed a modern, practical governance, risk, and compliance framework — one that’s risk-based, business-aligned, and built to deliver outcomes, not just policies.

This is a contract role for someone who thrives on translating GRC principles into something meaningful for people on the ground — and knows how to bring legal, IT, finance, and operations together around a shared view of risk.

What you’ll be doing:

• Build and embed a fit-for-purpose governance and control framework across varied business units
• Lead the implementation of ISMS and other frameworks in a practical, value-driven way
• Partner with legal, finance, and ops to align on risk ownership and compliance expectations
• Challenge legacy mindsets and champion a modern, risk-based culture across the business
• Focus on execution — not just writing documentation, but embedding behaviour and accountability

What you’ll bring:

• Deep experience delivering GRC frameworks in complex, global environments
• Confidence working across legal, finance, IT, and operational teams
• Practical mindset — someone who delivers real change, not just paper
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

If you're an experienced GRC professional who knows how to drive real outcomes — and you're not afraid to challenge the status quo — we’d love to hear from you.
