Head of Cybersecurity GRC

At Triskele Labs, we believe cybersecurity should be built on practical experience, not just theory. We work with organisations to improve their cyber maturity through realistic, evidence-based advisory services that align with risk, regulation, and business priorities.

We are now seeking a Head of Cybersecurity GRC to lead and grow our Governance, Risk and Compliance team. This is a senior leadership role with end-to-end ownership of people, process, pipeline, and profit across our GRC services. It is ideal for someone who thrives on team leadership, service design, commercial performance, and delivering trusted advice at the executive and board level.

This role is hybrid, requiring at least two days per week in our Melbourne office. It will involve occasional on-site time with key clients and regular interaction with Triskele Labs’ broader leadership team.

• Significant experience in cybersecurity GRC, including team leadership and consulting delivery
• Deep knowledge of frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and the Essential Eight, with the ability to translate them into practical outcomes
• Prior experience managing a consulting P&L, including forecasting, utilisation, and performance tracking
• Demonstrated ability to build and lead a team, implement scalable processes, and maintain a high standard of delivery
• Strong commercial acumen and the ability to scope, price, and deliver services that meet client expectations
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement skills, particularly with executive leadership and board members
• A mindset focused on continuous improvement, client success, and team development
• The ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on support where required

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and manage team processes and service delivery standards to ensure consistency, quality, and scalability
• Maintain visibility of ongoing project work, stepping into client engagements where needed to support delivery or act as an escalation point
• Attend and present at board meetings, risk committees, and senior stakeholder forums, translating cyber risk into business terms
• Take ownership of forecasting, pipeline management, team utilisation, and P&L performance for the GRC practice
• Scope and price engagements in collaboration with the sales team, ensuring a balance between client value and delivery feasibility
• Support pre-sales activities including proposals, discovery sessions, and presentations to prospective clients
