Job Description :

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Cybersecurity Consultant for a strategic engagement with our client.

This is not a routine audit or BAU security role. The consultant will assess the current environment, challenge existing controls, design a pragmatic Zero Trust security architecture, and help establish an institutional-grade security programme.

Client has recently completed a management-led internal security review and is executing an active remediation program. To build on this foundation, Client requires an independent senior practitioner to pressure-test the current state, validate and strengthen the strategic direction, and deliver a robust security architecture, process framework, and operating rhythm.

This is a hands-on advisory role reporting directly to senior leadership (CEO-1). It is not a checkbox audit and not a tool-selling exercise. Specific findings and internal materials will be shared following NDA execution.

What We're Looking For :

- 12+ years of Information Security experience

- 5+ years advising/leading security for Product, SaaS, or data-intensive organisations

- Deep hands-on expertise in the Microsoft Security ecosystem :

1. Microsoft Entra ID - Conditional Access, MFA, PIM

2. Microsoft Intune

3. Defender for Endpoint / XDR

4. Azure Security

- Strong Azure DevOps / DevSecOps expertise - pipeline security, branch policies, secrets management, SAST/SCA

- Proven Zero Trust Architecture experience

- Insider Risk & Data Exfiltration control design

- ISO 27001:2022 implementation experience

- Ability to engage confidently with senior leadership while remaining technically hands-on

- Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, SC-100, SC-200, or OSCP are highly valued

- We are particularly interested in practitioners who have personally built and strengthened security programmes, rather than those focused primarily on audits or compliance assessments
