The Opportunity You can be based at our Canary Wharf office in London or our Edinburgh office. You will be required to be onsite three times per week. EY’s EMEIA Cyber Practice continues to grow rapidly, and the UK team is seeking a Cyber Security Senior Consultant with experience supporting clients to secure cloud platforms. You will play a key role in client delivery and cloud-native security design, working under the guidance of Managers and Senior Managers. You will join an expanding team of over 1,000 Cyber professionals across EMEIA and align to the UK Financial Services Cyber practice, supporting leading Financial Services organisations with advisory and delivery-led cyber engagements.
Your Key Responsibilities UK Financial Services Cyber Security professionals draw upon their knowledge and experience to support the delivery of high-quality cyber engagements, act as a trusted advisor to clients, and contribute to business development activities on priority accounts. Drawing on your technical expertise and industry exposure, you will contribute innovative ideas, adapt methods to client operating models and cultures, and support the development of EY thought leadership. You will also contribute to improving delivery efficiency and quality across engagements and internal initiatives. Your role will involve working as a key delivery team member on engagements of varying size and complexity, operating under the direction of Managers, Senior Managers, and Directors. You will be expected to proactively identify risks and issues, escalate them appropriately, and contribute positively to a collaborative learning culture by coaching junior team members.
Client Responsibilities
Support the delivery of Cyber Security engagements, contributing to cloud and multi-cloud security solution design across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP.
Assist with the configuration and integration of CNAPP/CSPM tools to establish secure baselines, continuous visibility, misconfiguration prevention, and vulnerability/exposure management.
Participate in technical discovery and threat modelling for cloud-native architectures (containers, Kubernetes, serverless), helping translate findings into prioritised remediation actions and user stories.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Contribute to the creation of accelerators such as reference architectures, templates, runbooks, and security blueprints to improve consistency and speed across engagements.
Work with alliance partners and product vendors to build familiarity with cloud security tooling and emerging capabilities.
Build strong working relationships with clients and internal EY stakeholders across Consulting and other service lines.
