Kathrin
Barnes
Kathrin brings more than 15 years of marketing and communications experience to RIZE, combining strategic insight with a talent for creative execution. As Business Support & Marketing Manager, she bridges the operational and marketing sides of the business - refining internal processes, shaping communications, and ensuring RIZE’s brand remains consistent across every channel and region.
Originally from Germany, Kathrin spent 15 years working there before moving - via several international stops - to the UK. Her cross-border experience means she understands European business culture, work ethics, and the finer details of how organisations operate across markets.
Fluent in both English and German, Kathrin has managed cross-market campaigns, led media buying and PR strategies, and even built an award-winning hospitality brand from the ground up. Her approach is pragmatic yet creative - questioning inefficiencies, driving improvement, and always finding smarter ways to deliver results.
Outside of work, Kathrin is fuelled by movement - from CrossFit and Hyrox competitions to dog walks along the Cornish coast - and balances her professional drive with family life as a busy mum.
Backed by market insight, compliance expertise, and a deep understanding of the sectors we serve, our consultants deliver permanent recruitment solutions that support sustainable success.

Job Description Role: Corporate Security Consultant / Regulatory Security Consultant Focus: DORA, MaRisk, NIS2, ICT governance, audit readiness, regulatory change Role Purpose We are looking for a Corporate Security Consultant to strengthen our corporate security and regulatory compliance capabilities across IT, governance, access management, and operational resilience. This role is ideal for someone who understands how regulatory requirements translate into practical organisational controls. You will help ensure the business is secure against internal and external threats by assessing risks, strengthening governance, coordinating security measures, and preparing the organisation for audits, certifications, and regulatory reviews. The successful candidate will act as a bridge between regulatory requirements and IT delivery teams, providing practical guidance on what must be implemented, evidenced, and maintained to meet obligations under frameworks such as DORA, MaRisk, NIS2, and related supervisory requirements. Key Responsibilities Support the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of the corporate security framework across IT security, governance, compliance, and access rights. Interpret and operationalise regulatory requirements from DORA, MaRisk, NIS2, and related frameworks such as BAIT, VAIT, and relevant EBA guidance. DORA establishes uniform rules for ICT risk and digital operational resilience in the financial sector, while BaFin guidance notes that many DORA requirements align with BAIT/VAIT/ZAIT/KAIT expectations. Assess current controls, processes, and governance arrangements against regulatory expectations and identify gaps, remediation actions, and priority areas. Build a deep understanding of how the organisation operates, including key processes, stakeholders, control owners, and lines of responsibility. Identify the right internal contacts for control design, evidence gathering, audit coordination, and remediation tracking. Define what information and evidence must be collected to demonstrate compliance and support successful audits, certifications, and supervisory reviews. Coordinate and support internal and external audits, control assessments, and regulatory examinations. Work closely with IT, risk, compliance, and business stakeholders to translate regulatory requirements into practical, proportionate measures. Advise on security governance, risk assessments, control effectiveness, access management, and policy alignment. Support regulatory change initiatives and ensure security and governance requirements are embedded into transformation and operating model changes. Promote a sustainable, risk-based approach to corporate security, balancing regulatory requirements with business practicality.
