Job description

Cyber Security Consultant - Dubai, UAE

We’re looking for a cybersecurity consultant to join our growing Cyber Resilience team as a Cyber Security Consultant in the UAE. You will partner with key customers to drive business outcomes, maximize the value of the Immersive One Platform, and execute a programmatic approach to Cyber Workforce Resilience.

Unlike traditional consultancy, which would be transactional, such as working on a single project to completion and then leaving, this role is embedded and dedicated to the customer for the duration of the contract, providing long‑term and continuous engagement to simplify the drive for cyber resilience. The customer is your number one priority and your focus is to ensure success every step of the way. You need to adapt to the situations you encounter and be that trusted partner to help by utilising the Immersive One platform to its maximum.

You will be a trusted, long‑term embedded consultant with knowledge in all areas of cyber. The customer will look to you for the answers, and you must be agile with on‑the‑spot thinking. You will interact with all customer areas, from the C‑Suite to the teams and individuals that comprise the customer's organisation.

For the right candidate, we could also consider supporting relocation from the United Kingdom to the United Arab Emirates.

As a senior individual contributor in the team, your main responsibilities will include:

• Partner with key customers to understand and help achieve their business objectives, cybersecurity initiatives, and desired outcomes.
• Establish strategies and roadmaps to drive cyber workforce resilience through a programmatic approach.
• Engage C‑level executives, technical cyber security professionals, and major lines of business through delivering routine Executive Business Reviews.
• Leverage your cybersecurity knowledge to recommend appropriate improvements to current programs and suggest new programs.
• Drive adoption to maximise the value of the Immersive Labs Platform.
• Immerse into the cyber security community to remain informed of evolving threats, trends, and new technologies.
• Collaborate with product, content, and engineering teams to serve as the voice of the customer and influence product innovation.

Program Management

• Support customers in operationalising and incorporating Immersive Labs into their cybersecurity programs sustainably, leveraging platform metrics, custom reports and insights.
• Function as an escalation point and primary liaison between sales, product leadership and client accounts, being the first sales team resource in answering questions related to service delivery within your accounts.
• With the Customer Success Manager (CSM), assist in delivering Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) to customers, providing executive‑level reports and insights that help drive long‑term account health and expansion opportunities.

Sounds good? We’d love to hear from you if you have proven experience in the following areas, but don’t worry if you don’t hit each one exactly; experience working within cybersecurity is essential.

• 5+ years work experience in an information security practitioner or consulting role, and time spent working in a Customer Success or similar role.
• Extensive experience in client‑facing roles – you will have consulted and presented to both C‑level execs and technical stakeholders.
• Proficiency in IT fundamentals (computer hardware/software, databases, networking, security, and software development).
• Authoritative knowledge of information security concepts, domains, compliances, and standards. You are an engaging speaker and presenter, able to articulate value and discuss technical concepts in a jargon‑free manner.
• Hands‑on experience with Windows & Linux operating systems, security tools (IDS, firewalls, anti‑malware, SIEM), public cloud environments, etc.
• Experience leading technical presentations for both technical and non‑technical audiences across all levels.
• Bachelor’s degree or higher within Cyber Security or Computer Science would be desirable.

Immersive’s growth has been fuelled by our values that underpin everything we do; here’s how they relate to this role:

• Driven – We push the boundaries of innovation, acting swiftly to achieve ambitious outcomes. Our drive embodies a culture of ambition, where challenges are stepping stones to excellence.
