Platform Security Consultant - Contract

Reference: l065i99hxhgmc831dwz3

We are seeking an experienced Platform Security Consultant to support the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of secure technology platforms in a contract capacity. The successful candidate will work with engineering, infrastructure, architecture, and risk teams to assess security requirements, identify vulnerabilities, and provide practical guidance across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. This role is suited to a security professional who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on technical delivery.

Key responsibilities will include reviewing platform and infrastructure designs, conducting security assessments, and recommending appropriate controls for identity and access management, network security, encryption, endpoint protection, logging, monitoring, and secrets management. You will help define secure configuration standards, contribute to threat modelling and risk assessments, and support the remediation of security findings. The role will also involve advising on secure software and infrastructure delivery practices, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, container security, vulnerability management, and compliance with relevant policies and industry standards. You will produce clear technical documentation, security patterns, risk reports, and implementation guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Applicants should have demonstrable experience in platform, cloud, infrastructure, or cyber security consulting, with a strong understanding of security architecture and operational controls. Experience with major cloud platforms, enterprise networking, operating systems, containers, automation, and security tooling is highly desirable. Familiarity with recognised security frameworks and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or relevant regulatory requirements, would be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality outcomes within agreed timescales. The contract is expected to require a proactive approach, sound professional judgement, and the confidence to challenge risks constructively while supporting effective business delivery.
