Information Security Consulting Lead
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Consulting Lead to provide strategic guidance, technical leadership, and practical security solutions across a diverse portfolio of clients and internal stakeholders. This role will lead consulting engagements from initial scoping through delivery, helping organisations understand their cyber risk, strengthen their security posture, and meet relevant regulatory and industry requirements. You will act as a trusted adviser to senior leaders, translating complex security issues into clear, commercially focused recommendations.
Responsibilities will include leading information security assessments, maturity reviews, risk assessments, security architecture reviews, and compliance engagements. You will develop and present reports, roadmaps, policies, and remediation plans, ensuring that recommendations are realistic, prioritised, and aligned with business objectives. The role will also involve managing project scope, timelines, quality, and stakeholder expectations; mentoring consultants; contributing to bids and proposals; and supporting the continuous improvement of consulting methodologies, tools, and service offerings. You will be expected to remain informed about emerging threats, evolving regulations, and industry best practice, sharing knowledge through workshops, briefings, and written guidance.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information security consulting, cyber risk, governance, risk and compliance, or a closely related discipline, with a proven record of delivering advisory engagements and influencing senior stakeholders. Strong knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or COBIT is required, along with an understanding of risk management, security governance, data protection, incident management, and third-party assurance. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, are desirable. Excellent communication, report-writing, client management, and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to lead collaboratively, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality outcomes in a changing environment.
