Are you passionate about helping organisations strengthen their cyber resilience?

We're looking for an experienced Cyber Security Consultant with a strong Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) background to join a leading UK-based cybersecurity consultancy.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who's worked in a consultancy environment, ideally advising small to medium-sized businesses, and who thrives on guiding clients through frameworks like NIST, ISO27001, CIS, and Cyber Essentials/Plus.

What You'll Do

• Lead risk assessments and gap analyses, delivering actionable insights aligned with leading frameworks (Cyber Essentials, NIST, ISO27001, CIS).
• Provide expert GRC guidance, helping clients build, assess, and mature their cybersecurity posture.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments and collaborate on remediation through services such as MDR, DLP, and Penetration Testing.
• Act as a trusted security advisor, managing multiple client engagements and presenting findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Partner with Sales, Leadership, and Technical teams to support pre-sales activity and shape tailored client security strategies.
• Stay ahead of the curve by tracking emerging threats, regulatory changes, and best practices across the cybersecurity landscape.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in a cybersecurity consultancy, ideally serving SMEs or mid-market clients.
• Strong understanding of GRC frameworks - particularly Cyber Essentials/Plus, NIST, CIS, and ISO27001.
• Proficiency with common cybersecurity tools and technologies, and a strong knowledge of current cybersecurity threats, trends, and mitigation strategies, ideally around vulnerability management or incident response.
• Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or CEH (preferred).
• Excellent communication skills, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders, including C-level executives.
• Ability to manage multiple engagements, balancing technical insight with commercial awareness.

You'll be part of a forward-thinking consultancy that combines deep technical expertise with a people-first culture. This business has built a reputation for delivering practical, high-quality security solutions that empower clients to operate confidently and securely.

If you're an experienced consultant who enjoys blending technical knowledge, strategic thinking, and client impact, this is your opportunity to make a real difference across diverse industries.
