Senior Consultant - Cyber Risk, GRC & Trust Operations

Senior Consultant - Cyber Risk, GRC & Trust Operations

At VioletX , we help some of the most ambitious companies in the world build and scale modern security, compliance, vendor risk, and trust programs.

From AI infrastructure companies to hyperscale startups and globally recognized consumer brands, our customers operate in fast-moving and highly regulated environments where execution matters.

We’re hiring a Senior Consultant for operators who want to make real impact early, work directly with founding and executive teams, and help build modern security and trust programs inside some of the most exciting technology companies in the world.

This role is designed for someone with 3–5+ years of direct implementation and operational delivery experience from environments like:

• EY
• KPMG
• Deloitte
• IBM
• Mandiant
• Modern consulting firms
• Enterprise cyber risk or GRC teams
• High-growth technology companies

This is not a traditional advisory consulting role focused on slide decks, status meetings, or high-level recommendations.

At VioletX, consultants are expected to execute directly inside customer environments.

That means:

• building programs,
• live workshopping with customers,
• driving implementation,
• solving operational problems in real time,
• and using AI tools directly within day-to-day delivery workflows to move faster and operate more effectively.

You’ll work directly with founders, CISOs, engineering teams, and operators to help companies operationalize security, governance, and trust infrastructure in practice, not just in theory.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• make visible impact quickly,
• work directly with founders and security leaders,
• help shape operational systems,
• and develop leadership capabilities through real ownership and execution.

The people who thrive here tend to be:

• highly organized,
• intellectually curious,
• calm under pressure,
• execution-oriented,
• and motivated by building meaningful things alongside ambitious teams.

We believe the future of consulting is operational, systems-driven, AI-enabled, and deeply embedded with customers.

VioletX operates with a modern delivery model built around:

• strong operators,
• high-quality execution,
• scalable systems,

• and close partnership with customers.

Our consultants work directly with:

• AI governance and trust infrastructure
• Enterprise security and cyber risk programs
• Vendor risk and compliance operations
• Operational systems design

• High-growth startup environments
• Cross-functional security and business leadership

As the company grows, consultants also have opportunities to help shape:

• workflows,
• templates,
• operational systems,
• internal tooling,
• and delivery strategy across the organization.

If you’ve ever wanted to move faster, own more, build meaningful systems, and learn to lead through execution instead of hierarchy, this role is designed for that kind of operator.
