Senior Security Consultant
We are seeking a Senior Security Consultant to provide expert guidance, assurance and practical support across a broad range of information and cyber security initiatives. The successful candidate will work with stakeholders at all levels to assess security risks, define appropriate controls and help strengthen the resilience of systems, services and business processes. This role is suited to an experienced security professional who can combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery and communicate complex issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Responsibilities will include leading security assessments, risk reviews and threat modelling activities; developing and reviewing security policies, standards and procedures; and advising on secure architecture, cloud environments, applications, infrastructure and third-party services. You will contribute to incident response, vulnerability management, security testing and audit or regulatory activities, ensuring that findings are prioritised and addressed effectively. The role will also involve producing high-quality reports, presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders, supporting security awareness initiatives and mentoring colleagues. You may be required to manage several workstreams simultaneously and collaborate with engineering, technology, compliance, procurement and operational teams.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a cyber or information security consultancy, advisory or assurance role, with a strong understanding of recognised security frameworks, risk management principles and relevant regulatory requirements. Experience with standards such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS, together with knowledge of cloud security, identity and access management, secure development practices and penetration testing, would be advantageous. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, SABSA or equivalent are desirable. Excellent analytical, influencing and report-writing skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently, build trusted relationships and translate security requirements into practical business outcomes. A proactive mindset, sound judgement and commitment to continuous learning will be highly valued.
