Cybersecurity Risk Specialist

Vancouver, BC | 2–3 Days Onsite | 6-Month Contract (Extension Possible)

Are you a cybersecurity professional who thrives on bringing order to complexity?

We’re looking for a Cybersecurity Risk Specialist to help drive real progress within an evolving enterprise security program. This is a high-impact contract opportunity where you’ll take ownership of audit findings, validate remediation efforts, and help mature a formalized cyber risk management process.

If you enjoy connecting technical security expertise with cross-functional coordination — and want to see tangible results from your work — this role is for you.

Why This Role Matters

Over time, multiple security assessments have generated hundreds of findings across areas like Identity & Access Management, threat operations, backup & recovery, and governance. Many items have been addressed, but remediation tracking and validation haven’t always been consistent.

Your mandate:

Bring structure, accountability, and momentum to the backlog, and help embed a sustainable cyber risk management framework.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Review and validate cybersecurity assessment findings
• Analyze auditor evidence and recommended remediation actions
• Confirm remediation status and identify gaps
• Drive follow-ups with technical and business stakeholders
• Assign ownership and ensure accountability across teams
• Track, report, and monitor remediation progress
• Provide practical security input to ensure solutions work within the enterprise environment
• Support the continued rollout and operationalization of a formal cyber risk process
• You’ll work closely with security leadership and partner with teams across threat response, governance, infrastructure, data protection, and architecture.

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience in cybersecurity risk management, GRC, or security operations
• Strong technical foundation across enterprise security domains
• Experience managing and tracking audit findings and remediation programs

Exposure to areas such as:

• Identity & Access Management (IAM)
• Security Operations / Threat Intelligence
• Backup & Disaster Recovery
• Security awareness and user training initiatives
• Excellent coordination and stakeholder engagement skills
• Ability to drive accountability and maintain momentum

Nice to Have

• CISSP or similar security certification
• Experience helping stand up or mature a cyber risk framework
• Background in complex, multi-team enterprise environments
