Associate Director - Cyber M&A - Infrastructure Sector
We are seeking an Associate Director to lead cyber-focused M&A advisory and execution within the infrastructure sector. This is a senior role for an experienced cybersecurity, technology, or transaction professional who can combine commercial judgement with a strong understanding of cyber risk, operational resilience, and critical infrastructure. You will advise clients and senior stakeholders throughout the transaction lifecycle, helping them assess cyber capabilities, identify material risks, and realise value from strategic investments, acquisitions, divestments, and transformation programmes.
Responsibilities will include leading cyber due diligence and post-transaction assessments; evaluating security strategy, governance, architecture, controls, incident readiness, third-party exposure, and regulatory obligations; and translating technical findings into clear financial and commercial implications. You will develop workplans, manage complex engagements, review analysis and deliverables, and present recommendations to executive audiences, investment committees, boards, and transaction teams. The role will also involve identifying value-creation opportunities, supporting integration and separation planning, contributing to proposals and account development, and building trusted relationships with clients, investors, lenders, advisers, and internal teams. You will be expected to coach colleagues and contribute to the development of methodologies, market perspectives, and sector-specific offerings.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cybersecurity consulting, technology risk, M&A advisory, transaction services, or a related field, with demonstrable exposure to infrastructure, energy, utilities, transport, telecommunications, industrial, or other asset-intensive sectors. Experience of leading teams and delivering complex, commercially focused engagements is essential, as is the ability to communicate confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Knowledge of cyber frameworks, regulatory requirements, cloud and enterprise technology, identity and access management, operational technology, and third-party risk will be valued. Relevant professional qualifications in cybersecurity, risk, finance, or programme management are advantageous. Strong analytical, project management, influencing, and business development skills are required, alongside a pragmatic approach and willingness to travel when needed.
