LRQA operates a 5,000+ person assurance and risk management business spanning certification, cyber security, and supply-chain compliance. The hiring mix—heavy in operations (71 roles) and sales (34)—reflects a service-delivery and client-facing organization, not a software company. Active adoption of SIEM, XDR, EDR, and CrowdStrike signals a push toward integrated security automation, while new product development and a dedicated cyber portal project indicate expansion into higher-margin managed services.
Notable leadership hires: Lead Auditor, Lead Assessor, Lead auditor, Director, Head of Sales
