Role Description
- We are a boutique consulting firm engaged with a leading Saudi financial institution, supporting their technology, data, and AI governance programs.
- We're looking for a sharp, detail oriented consultant to join the team on site in Jeddah for a 5 month full time contract.
- This is not a passive reporting role. You will be embedded in a fast moving environment where you receive weekly observability and GRC findings from control units across technology, data, and AI functions — and your job is to think critically, not just document and report.
Role Responsibilities
- Review and critically assess weekly GRC and technology control findings submitted by internal units and control functions
- Challenge inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading updates with evidence based reasoning
- Proactively identify blockers, control gaps, and escalation worthy issues before they reach leadership

- Prepare high quality executive level summary reports for top leadership — concise, neat, structured, credible
- Engage with stakeholders across different business units and control functions to objectively clarify findings from multiple angles and verify accuracy
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in information systems, computer science, finance, risk management, or related field
- At least one active professional certification — CISA, CRISC, CISSP, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor/Implementer, CDPSE, or equivalent
- Minimum 2–3 years of hands on experience in GRC, information security, technology risk, or IT audit — specifically within banking or financial services
- Working knowledge of KSA banking technology regulations and SAMA cybersecurity framework
- Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills — you produce clean, structured outputs, not rough drafts
- Based in Jeddah, or willing to relocate immediately (iqama sponsorship provided)
Optional Skills & Qualifications
- Strong Arabic language ability
