Senior Cyber Security Consultant
About the assignment
You join a leading organisation where cyber security sits at the board table. You translate business objectives into security roadmaps, assess organisational maturity, and guide executives through risk decisions.
You work across multiple domains: governance frameworks, incident response, threat intelligence, and compliance. Your counsel shapes how the organisation responds to emerging threats and regulatory change.
Your impact spans strategic planning, vendor evaluation, security culture, and measurable risk reduction. You're a trusted advisor who bridges the gap between technical teams and executive leadership.
Your responsibilities
- Design security strategies aligned with business goals and risk appetite
- Assess current security posture and develop multi-year roadmaps for improvement
- Lead threat assessments, gap analyses, and security architecture reviews
- Advise on incident response, business continuity, and crisis management planning
- Evaluate and recommend security tools, platforms, and vendors
- Guide governance, compliance, and regulatory frameworks (ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, NIST)
- Mentor security teams and drive security culture across the organisation
- Report security metrics and risk status to board and executive teams
