About SARC Global :

SARC Global Advisory Services is a multidisciplinary advisory firm with 40+ years of heritage, 100+ partners, and 500+ professionals across India, UK, USA, Singapore, and UAE.

Our cybersecurity practice is anchored by a strategic partnership with ColorTokens for microsegmentation and is rapidly expanding to serve BFSI, government, and large enterprise clients across India.

We are building a world-class cybersecurity delivery capability from the ground up and this role is at the centre of that mission.

The Opportunity :

We are looking for a seasoned Delivery & Services Lead to own and build our entire cybersecurity services delivery engine.

This is not a role where you inherit a running team, you will be the founding delivery leader, responsible for standing up the practice, hiring your team, and delivering end-to-end cybersecurity engagements for marquee clients.

If youve spent 12+ years delivering cybersecurity projects at a Wipro, TCS, Mindtree, Deloitte, PwC, or similar, and youre ready to build something from scratch with real ownership and equity upside, this is it.

- Drive client retention and upsell through proactive service reviews, threat intelligence briefings, and continuous improvement recommendations

- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements including RBI cybersecurity framework, CERT-In directives, SEBI guidelines, and DPDP Act for clients in regulated industries

3. Team Building & Practice Development :

- Hire, mentor, and build a high-performing cybersecurity delivery team from the ground up including project managers, security architects, SOC analysts, implementation engineers, and support engineers

- Define career paths, training programs, and certification roadmaps (CISSP, CISM, CEH, ColorTokens certifications) for team members

- Collaborate with the CEO and business development team on pre-sales support, solution presentations, RFP responses, and client proposals

- Contribute to thought leadership whitepapers, case studies, webinars, and conference presentations to position SARC as a credible cybersecurity services player

- Own P&L responsibility for the cybersecurity delivery function, including revenue targets, margin management, and utilization metrics
