Cybersecurity Governance & Assurance Specialist

Amaris Consulting UK is looking for a talented and driven Cybersecurity Governance & Assurance Specialist to join our team and support one of our key clients in the off‑highway machinery sector.

Your Missions

• Governance and Standards
  • Own and maintain the product cybersecurity governance and assurance framework, aligned with the broader compliance model used across disciplines.
  • Develop and maintain internal standards, templates, checklists, and guidance to enable consistent execution across programmes (e.g., System of Interest definitions, TARA guidance, cybersecurity requirements, testing expectations, and evidence packs).
  • Create and deliver training and enablement programmes to uplift engineering teams and drive "right first time" compliance.
• Programme Compliance Assessment and Assurance
  • Plan and execute cybersecurity compliance assessments of product programmes and suppliers, reporting status, risks, and evidence gaps clearly and early.
  • Assess alignment against internal requirements and relevant external standards and regulations, including ISO/SAE 21434, ISO 24882, IEC 62443, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
  • Review the adequacy of key cybersecurity work products such as threat modelling/TARA outputs, requirements, architecture evidence, verification and validation strategies, and residual risk statements.
  • Drive closure of findings with stakeholders across systems, embedded software, verification, manufacturing/service, and suppliers.
• Cybersecurity Testing Assurance
  • Define cybersecurity testing expectations required for compliance evidence, covering coverage scope, methods, reporting, and remediation tracking.
  • Coordinate Red Team and testing activities to ensure outputs support programme assurance and close testing capability gaps.
• Vulnerability Management and Post‑Production Assurance
  • Establish and assure governance for post‑production vulnerability management, including monitoring from suppliers, research findings, Red Team outputs, and PSIRT channels, and routing to affected products.
  • Support readiness for CRA mandatory reporting, including Article 14 reporting workflows and fast‑track response for actively exploitable issues.
  • Capture and disseminate lessons learned (e.g., CWE/CVE insights) back into standards, checklists, and training materials.

Your Profile

• 3+ years of experience within Tier 1 or OEM sectors (on‑highway or off‑highway) in a cybersecurity role.
• Demonstrable experience in product cybersecurity assurance, governance, compliance assessment, or cybersecurity audit for embedded or cyber‑physical products.
• Strong working knowledge of ISO/SAE 21434 and ISO 24882, with the ability to translate them into practical internal processes and evidence expectations.
• Working knowledge of IEC 62443 and supplier assurance requirements.
• Familiarity with CRA compliance needs, including defined reporting workflows such as Article 14.
• Excellent technical writing, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to present risk clearly and pragmatically.
• Knowledge or experience of TARA and threat modelling approaches, including review of threat artefacts such as attack trees, is a plus.
• Background in vulnerability management and post‑production monitoring/triage governance is a plus.
• Experience in cybersecurity requirements engineering and cybersecurity testing (including test evidence expectations) is a plus.
• Awareness of functional safety interfaces and the security‑safety relationship is a plus.
• Understanding of embedded product environments including ECUs, CAN, J1939, and diagnostics such as UDS is a plus.
• Familiarity with SBOM concepts and their role in vulnerability monitoring and compliance evidence is a plus.
