The Audit and Risk Recruitment Company 

The Audit & Risk Recruitment Company (ARRC) have been retained by Motability Operations to help them recruit a Cyber Risk Manager, a newly created and critical position that will lead on the embedding of cyber risk principles and frameworks across the organisation.This opportunity has come about as Motability Operations Ltd undergoes an enterprise wide transformation in how it uses technology to engage with its customers.

This role will report into the Head of Risk and Compliance and is a very high profile position that will likely have responsibility and oversight over the building out of a new team. Base salary is paying up to £100,000 + 20% bonus + 15 % pension contribution.
