Job description

Cloud Security Consultants | Active SC Needed

We're recruiting Cloud Security Consultants at different levels for a global technology consultancy. Salaries range from approximately £60,000 to £100,000, depending on experience and seniority.

You may currently work in defence, government, national security or another regulated environment. You could be a Cloud Security Consultant, Security Architect or a cloud engineer who has moved deeply into security.

You can look beyond individual security tools and understand how cloud security decisions affect the wider organisation.

The work will involve helping clients answer questions such as:

• How should we securely move a sensitive service into Azure, AWS or GCP?
• What should the security architecture and operating model look like?
• Where are the genuine risks within a proposed design?
• How do we apply Secure by Design and Zero Trust in practice?
• How should identity, networks, applications and data be protected?
• Which controls are proportionate, and why are they needed?

The strongest candidates are likely to bring:

• Cloud security architecture experience
• Experience across Azure, AWS or GCP
• Secure by Design, threat modelling, design assurance experience
• Knowledge of Zero Trust, IAM and cloud governance
• The ability to turn security requirements into practical solutions
• Experience advising clients and influencing technical stakeholders
• Broad security knowledge beyond one specialist discipline
• An understanding of both the technical “how” and the security “why”
• Confidence mentoring colleagues and sharing knowledge

This is not purely a SOC, vulnerability-management or infrastructure-support position. The team needs people who can take a wider view of security, challenge designs and explain the business impact of their recommendations.

Current and active SC clearance is essential. Candidates must also be sole UK nationals due to the nature of the client work.

The roles are available UK-wide. Home working and some travel to client site when required - a few times a month on average.

There is a straightforward two-stage interview process covering technical cloud security knowledge and its application within complex client environments.
