Project Security Consultant | Defence Prime
A leading defence prime is hiring a Project Security Consultant — a role at the centre of major programmes where security governance, risk management and stakeholder engagement genuinely shape outcomes. If you thrive on being the trusted security voice inside complex projects, this is a position with real visibility, influence and impact.
🔐 The Opportunity
You’ll act as the focal point for project security, working directly with delivery teams, senior stakeholders, suppliers and customer security representatives to ensure risks are understood, managed and evidenced throughout the lifecycle. You’ll guide the Senior Responsible Owner, maintain key security artefacts, coordinate assurance activity, validate supplier compliance and embed a positive, proactive security culture across the programme. This is hands-on, meaningful work — protecting critical national capability while collaborating with some of the UK’s most respected security, engineering and delivery teams.
