GRC Recruitment
GRC recruitment for modern risk teams.
PrivaTalent recruits governance, risk and assurance professionals who can connect frameworks, controls, regulation and business outcomes.
Why GRC specialists need specialist recruiters
GRC roles can cover very different remits. Some focus on enterprise risk, others on governance, assurance, security frameworks or control testing. We start with the actual remit rather than treating every GRC title as interchangeable.
GRC roles we recruit
We support searches for GRC Managers, Heads of GRC, Governance Leads, Risk Managers, Assurance specialists, third-party risk and controls specialists, with scope tailored to the organisation.
Framework and regulatory knowledge
Depending on the role, relevant experience can include ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, operational resilience, risk frameworks, regulatory controls, audit, assurance and third-party risk. We assess the combination that matters for the brief.
Building stronger GRC teams
Whether you are scaling a GRC function or filling a specialist gap, we focus on candidates who can operate credibly with boards, regulators, security teams, legal teams and business leaders.
