- Work alongside some of the industry's most experienced cyber security professionals in a highly collaborative environment.
This is a senior consulting opportunity within a growing practice that focuses on delivering practical cyber risk and security strategy outcomes for clients.

- Demonstrated ability to translate strategic recommendations into practical and achievable business outcomes.
- Experience engaging with senior stakeholders and influencing decision-making across business and technology functions.
- A passion for solving complex security challenges and delivering high-value consulting outcomes.
- Relevant industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC or similar are beneficial but not essential.
- Deliver consulting engagements focused on cyber strategy, risk, governance, and security transformation initiatives.
- Facilitate cyber incident tabletop exercises and help organisations improve their preparedness and response capabilities.
- Support clients in developing and executing risk management strategies that align with business objectives.
- Provide trusted advice to senior stakeholders and executive leadership teams on security priorities and investment decisions.
- Contribute to the growth of the practice through mentoring junior consultants, developing client relationships, and supporting business development initiatives.
- Join a high-performing consultancy with exceptional team culture.
- Hybrid working model with strong flexibility while maintaining regular collaboration and team engagement.
- Exposure to complex and interesting client engagements alongside some of the most capable cyber security professionals in the market.
