Technical Cyber Security Consultant
Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 DOE
Contract: Permanent, full-time
Location: Remote
We are working with a specialist cyber security consultancy that supports organisations operating within critical national infrastructure and other high-consequence environments.
They are looking for a Technical Cyber Security Consultant who can combine strong hands-on technical capability with client-facing consulting skills.
This is a varied role covering security assessment, advisory work and hands-on implementation. You’ll be equally comfortable identifying technical risks, explaining them clearly to stakeholders and helping implement the solutions required to address them.
The Role
You’ll work across a broad range of cyber security projects, including:
- Designing, deploying and configuring security controls including firewalls, EDR, SIEM, IAM and cloud security technologies
- Supporting penetration testing, vulnerability assessments and security reviews across networks, applications and cloud environments
- Turning security findings into practical remediation plans and helping clients implement them
- Hardening systems and infrastructure in line with standards including CIS Benchmarks, NCSC guidance and ISO 27001
- Developing scripts, automation and internal security tooling
- Acting as a trusted technical point of contact for clients
- Explaining complex cyber security risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Producing high-quality technical reports, documentation and remediation guidance
- Participating in client workshops, scoping sessions and presentations
- Keeping up to date with emerging threats, vulnerabilities and security technologies
