Senior Security Consultant
We are seeking a Senior Security Consultant to provide expert guidance and practical solutions across a broad range of information and cyber security challenges. The successful candidate will work with clients and internal stakeholders to assess security maturity, identify risks, and design effective controls that support business objectives. This role will involve leading engagements from initial scoping through to delivery, ensuring recommendations are proportionate, clearly communicated, and aligned with relevant legislation, industry standards, and recognised security frameworks.
Key responsibilities will include conducting security assessments, risk and threat modelling, audits, gap analyses, and control reviews; developing security strategies, policies, standards, and improvement roadmaps; and advising on governance, risk, compliance, cloud security, identity and access management, incident response, and secure technology design. You will produce high-quality reports and presentations for both technical and senior audiences, explain complex issues in clear business language, and support the implementation of agreed recommendations. The role may also involve mentoring consultants, contributing to proposals and client relationships, keeping current with emerging threats, and helping to improve internal methodologies and service offerings.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information or cyber security consulting, risk management, security architecture, governance, or a related discipline. Strong knowledge of recognised frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls, or equivalent is expected, along with practical experience delivering assessments and advising organisations on risk reduction. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, SABSA, or relevant cloud security qualifications are desirable. You will need excellent analytical, written, presentation, and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work independently while collaborating effectively across multidisciplinary teams. A proactive, commercially aware approach and a commitment to delivering trusted, high-quality advice are essential.
