A leading tier-one global management and technology consultancy is seeking an experienced Security Architecture Consultant. The successful candidate will join multidisciplinary teams to help enterprise clients transform their digital landscapes, solve complex operational challenges, and build resilient systems for the future.

In this role, the consultant will design robust enterprise security frameworks and help global organisations navigate evolving cyber risks.

Why Join Their Technology Practice?

• Flexible Technical Career Paths: Progress on a dedicated, elite technical track without the pressure to transition into a traditional sales or equity partner role.
• Sector & Tech Variety: Access delivery opportunities across multiple industry sectors—including financial services, the public sector, and critical infrastructure—ensuring you never get stuck on a single legacy stack.
• Continuous Upskilling: Benefit from a dedicated, generous annual training allowance to acquire premium technical certifications and attend global industry conferences.

• Proven Track Record: A robust background in information security, specifically delivering architecture for large-scale, high-availability infrastructure projects.
• Professional Credentials: Industry-recognized security or architecture certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA, or TOGAF.
• Consultative Mindset: Exceptional analytical capabilities and comfort presenting complex security strategies to non-technical business leaders.
• Security Clearance: Ability to meet standard baseline vetting. Due to the sensitive nature of the firm's public sector and defence portfolio, certain projects require candidates to meet strict UK residency criteria to support higher-level vetting.
• Highly competitive base salary complemented by an annual performance-related bonus scheme.
• Comprehensive private medical insurance packages for employees and their families.
• Market-leading corporate pension matching and employee equity programmes.
• Generous annual leave allowance with flexible options to buy or sell days.
