The Lead Consultant – GRC (Tool-Led Implementation) role is a specialist implementation position within a leading cybersecurity organisation in the UAE, focused on end-to-end delivery of enterprise Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and Integrated Risk Management (IRM) platforms. The role involves leading full lifecycle implementation of eGRC platforms including requirements gathering, solution design, system configuration, testing, deployment, and go-live support. The position requires configuring core GRC modules such as risk management, compliance management, policy management, issue management, business continuity management (BCM), disaster recovery (DR), and third-party risk management. The role translates business, regulatory, and governance requirements into platform configurations including data models, workflows, control frameworks, dashboards, reporting structures, and role-based access models. It involves designing and building dashboards, assessment frameworks, and reporting views while ensuring alignment with enterprise governance requirements. The Lead Consultant supports integration of GRC platforms with enterprise systems such as ITSM, IAM, document repositories, and security tools. The role includes producing detailed technical and functional documentation such as high-level design (HLD), low-level design (LLD), configuration guides, and user documentation. Additionally, the position provides post-go-live support including issue resolution, enhancements, user onboarding, and ongoing configuration changes, while collaborating with risk, compliance, IT, and business stakeholders to ensure adoption and value realization. The role requires strong expertise in GRC platforms such as RSA Archer or ServiceNow IRM, experience in regulated environments, and strong technical configuration and stakeholder management capabilities.
