The Manager – GRC Tech Enablement & IRM Transformation role in Abu Dhabi is a senior consulting position within a cybersecurity and advisory organization focused on delivering enterprise-wide Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) transformation programs. The role involves leading end-to-end implementation and advisory services across integrated risk management platforms including RSA Archer, ServiceNow IRM, MetricStream, and other eGRC solutions.

The role includes facilitating requirements gathering and design workshops, producing business requirement documents (BRD), high-level design (HLD), and low-level design (LLD) documentation to support solution implementation. It requires full lifecycle project delivery including governance, planning, risk management, execution oversight, and financial control including budgeting, resource planning, and utilization tracking. The role also involves leading executive-level client engagement, managing RFP responses, delivering solution presentations, and supporting account growth and long-term client relationships. The Manager ensures alignment with global and regional frameworks including ISO 27001, NIST, COSO, COBIT, and UAE Internal Audit standards. This position requires strong consulting expertise, hands-on eGRC implementation experience, and executive stakeholder management within regulated enterprise environments.
