Senior Cyber Risk Consultant

Join a young and optimistic cyber security consultancy full of experts in security, data, technology, and design who want to build a safer, more secure world where more things go right.

This is a remote-first position. That doesn't mean you'll be alone: they use collaboration tools to keep in touch day-to-day and have monthly Team Days in different locations to get together, celebrate successes and plan for the future. Often clients drop by to share what they're up to and the problems they're facing.

The Right Fit:

They are looking for someone to join the team as a Senior Cyber Risk Consultant. You should have an inquisitive mind and want to improve the world around you. This will come across on a day-to-day basis as you work to understand clients' business and help them to make better decisions that improve their cyber security posture. You will have the ability to communicate clearly and concisely in both written and verbal form and will have the confidence to question and challenge the status quo.

They may have cyber certifications, though this certainly isn't a requirement; and will probably have four or five years of experience. This doesn't have to all be in consulting, though they will have prior experience running consulting projects and managing small teams.

The Role:

Take the lead on our engagements and work with senior business leaders, both within the security and IT teams, as well as non-technical teams and board members. You'll be helping them to identify what needs protecting and prioritising, and understanding what the consequences of risk events are to their operations.

Be comfortable problem solving by breaking down challenges into small, more manageable parts, and documenting any assumptions or estimates that you make along the way. You'll be comfortable both doing and delegating activities, like carrying out and writing up interviews and workshops, analysing the data we have collected, and looking for patterns and insights to develop recommendations.

• Identify what needs protecting and prioritising, and understand what the consequences of risk events are to operations.

You may be required to work autonomously and take the lead on projects and individual tasks, as well as keeping our clients up to date. Some projects will require travel to client sites. That may be for the odd meeting or workshop, or it may be for multiple days over a few weeks. Most of our clients and meeting locations are in the South East of the UK.

Outside of the 'billable' client work you'll also be contributing to our internal tools and processes and open-source projects. You'll be expected to raise awareness of our services, to help propose new services to clients and (reverse) mentor colleagues.

Package and Benefits:

The salary for this role is £60,000 - £70,000, based on experience. Plus the following benefits:

• Unlimited flexible days off. take individual days off for a long weekend, supporting family, or just getting on top of life admin, without eating into your holiday allowance.
• Tax-free contribution towards your utility bills (£6/week).
• Pension scheme (5% company contribution).
• Discretionary bonus scheme (up to 10% of your salary).
• Annual funding for external training and professional qualification.
• IT equipment to enable remote and mobile working.

You will be supported and guided in assignments, and your career more generally. They will invest in your development through formal courses, online learning, career mentorship, on-the-job training and regular feedback. They budget for everyone to go on yearly training courses, and expect you to share what you're learning, for both your growth and growth across the organisation.

Candidates must be eligible to work in the UK.
