Senior Manager, Cybersecurity and Privacy (Future Partner Track), Cyprus

Our client is at a pivotal growth stage. Demand is outpacing capacity. Their reputation and referrals keep bringing in projects from Cyprus, UK and Europe and they have barely scratched the surface of their international potential.

On behalf of our client, we are seeking a commercially astute individual who can take the lead on projects, own client relationships and free up the founder to focus on strategic growth. This is more than a delivery role its a chance to shape the business and be rewarded for it.

Why this is different

• Equity on the table for the right person, they want you to be invested in the organisation's success.

• Exposure to international projects alongside a respected industry leader.

• A clear path to becoming Number Two in the business.

• Real flexibility  to manage your own schedule and location.

• Unlimited holiday policy, because they trust results over timesheets.

What you'll do

• Lead cybersecurity, privacy and IT assurance engagements end-to-end.
  

• Act as fractional CISO/DPO for retainer clients in fintech, gaming, accounting and other sectors.
• Oversee ISO 27001 and DORA readiness projects from planning to implementation.

• Build strong, lasting relationships with senior decision-makers.
  

• Identify and act on opportunities to expand services in Cyprus and abroad.

What you bring

• 5+ years experience in cybersecurity, privacy, or IT audit ideally with exposure to financial services.
• Strong track record in client-facing delivery, with the ability to manage juniors or outsourced teams.
• Professional certifications such as ISO 27001 Implementer/Auditor, CISA, CISSP, or CIPP/E.

• Commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset.
  

• Confidence to represent the organisation at events, conferences and in high-level discussions.

The opportunity

Salary to be discussed, plus performance bonus, but the real upside lies in the growth potential and equity opportunity. You will work directly with the founder to expand the international footprint, and you'll share in the rewards of what you help to build.

If you're ready to move from employee to business-builder, this is your stage. The job title is not fixed it will be shaped around your experience and growth potential.

Location: Cyprus (flexible / hybrid) with European travel as required.
Eligibility: Candidates must be based in Cyprus or the EU (or eligible to work in Cyprus without visa sponsorship).
