Job Description

Behind every part of how we operate, from our manufacturing environments to our stores and digital platforms, sits a growing technology ecosystem. It enables scale, consistency, and the level of performance the business is built on.

As this ecosystem expands, so does the need for clear governance, disciplined risk management, and structured oversight. This role plays a key part in ensuring that as we grow, we do so in a way that is controlled, visible, and sustainable.

We’re looking for an IT GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) professional who is naturally structured, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across both technical and business environments. This role is about bringing clarity to risk, embedding practical governance, and ensuring that the right disciplines are consistently applied across IT.

Working closely with IT leadership and the broader business, you’ll help shape how governance shows up in our day-to-day, making it measurable, actionable, and aligned to how we operate.

What you’ll be responsible for:

  • Owning and embedding IT governance across risk, audit, financial, and vendor oversight, ensuring clear visibility and accountability
  • Driving the IT risk register and coordinating governance reporting for Steerco, Exco, and Board, ensuring meaningful insight and visibility
  • Leading internal and external audit processes, including planning, coordination, stakeholder engagement, and closure of audit findings
  • Managing financial governance and vendor environments, including budget tracking, cost visibility, contract management (onboarding, renewals, performance), and partner accountability
  • Ensuring governance is applied across projects and operations, identifying control gaps and strengthening processes where needed

What we’re looking for:

  • Experience in IT governance, risk, or audit, including exposure to managing risk frameworks and leading audit processes
  • A strong understanding of IT environments and governance frameworks such as COBIT, ITIL, or ISO standards
  • Demonstrated experience managing vendors, partners, and contract governance within an IT environment
  • A structured, detail-oriented approach, with the ability to translate governance into practical, day-to-day outcomes
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication, combined with a clear sense of ownership and accountability

In line with Jonsson Workwear’s commitment to employment equity, applications from candidates from designated groups, as well as candidates with disabilities, are encouraged.
