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.

• 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
• Recommend pragmatic interventions and corrective actions with clear rationale
• 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

• 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)

• Strong Arabic language ability
