Requirements

Are you a confident, capable Senior Cyber Consultant, with experience in leading direction and strategy, helping immature organisations create workable, actionable roadmaps for their Cyber and Infosec Strategy?

We're hiring a Strategtic GRC/Risk/Cyber Consultant with experience ideally in LONGER projects to join a fast-growing, high-calibre UK-based security consultancy. This is a remote-first role, open to experienced professionals based in the UK. You'll work closely with a broad range of clients from SME and retail-sector clients to large Utilities / Multinationals, acting as a trusted advisor across longer-term engagements - shaping and benchmarking security strategy and progress, influencing stakeholders, and driving real change.

The role needs an experienced client-facing, engaging and dynamic personality to be able to ask tough questions, guide clients through troubled waters, and lead them to their ultimate goals., * Strong 3 Party / Professional Services consulting experience, ideally in less framework-heavy environments, where creativity and dynamism get the job done.

  • Experience navigating delivering LONGER V-Ciso style engagements, GRC, risk frameworks, and regulatory compliance (Maybe you've been internal, or a CISO at some stage?)
  • A background in Cyber, Cloud or Networking is useful - even if not current/up to date.
  • Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, PCI etc. are great - but your professionalism and gravitas to drive meaningful change as a trusted advisor matter most.

You:

  • A natural communicator, listener and relationship builder - confident, but never arrogant
  • Able to simplify complexity and bring clarity to clients
  • Able to respectfully challenge and shape beliefs, educate, share, define and plan
  • Someone who thrives on collaboration and delivering tangible impact
  • UK-based and eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship

Benefits & conditions

  • Salary up to £105,000 + benefits package
  • A people-first consultancy with a great manager and team
  • Long-term client partnerships, not just short one-off projects, where you never see the outcome.
  • Autonomy, respect, and a chance to shape client outcomes at a strategic level
