About The Position

We’re looking for a versatile, proactive Project Manager to lead GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) projects across our North American (NAMER) region. Cognisys is a leading Cyber Security company specialising in Penetration Testing, GRC Consulting, and Managed Security services. We pride ourselves on our customer service, forward-thinking approach, and commitment to excellence. Our small but mighty team works with some of the best-known companies in the world, covering over 30 countries worldwide! As a Project Manager for the NAMER team, you’ll be the heartbeat of our client engagements. You won't just be managing "enterprise" tasks; you’ll be spearheading projects of all sizes, ensuring that every client - regardless of their scale - receives a world-class experience. Reporting to the Head of Trust & Advisory for NAMER, you’ll own the end-to-end journey of our GRC programs. You’ll be the bridge between our technical experts and our clients, keeping timelines tight, budgets on track, and communication crystal clear. While a GRC background is great, we care more about your ability to master new domains quickly and your drive to get things done.

Requirements

3–5+ years of project management experience, ideally in a fast-paced or consulting environment.
Comfortable with Scrum or Kanban and know how to apply those principles to real-world client work.
Love diving into the deep end of technical or regulatory topics and can translate complex info into actionable project plans.
As comfortable presenting to a C-suite executive as you are chatting with a developer.
Happy managing a two-week sprint for a boutique firm or a six-month roadmap for a larger organisation.

Nice To Haves

PMP, CSM, or PRINCE2 certification.
Ability to master new domains quickly.
Drive to get things done.

Responsibilities

Own the full project lifecycle for multiple concurrent GRC engagements, from the initial kickoff to the final handshake.
Use Agile or Hybrid methodologies to keep projects moving. You know how to pivot when a startup needs speed or a larger firm needs structure.
Act as the main point of contact for our NAMER clients. You’ll manage expectations, solve problems on the fly, and ensure we’re delivering real value.
Quickly get up to speed on our core services, including Vanta deployments, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. You’ll be the guide that helps clients navigate these complex frameworks.
Proactively spot risks, prevent scope creep, and work with the PMO to ensure every project is a commercial and technical success.
