Job Description:

Location: Hybrid; with occasional travel expected to client site or Logiq’s offices in Bristol, Chippenham or Exeter.

Salary: Negotiable Dependent on Experience, plus car allowance, plus up to 10% performance bonus*, plus excellent benefits package.

Logiq is a fast-growing Technology Company, providing cutting-edge solutions to high-risk clients across Private and Public Sector. Due to rapid growth in our Security Capability, we are looking for experienced Security Consultants to join our team.

What is Cyber Risk Management?

Cyber risk management ensures that organisations can anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyber incidents, aligning security efforts with business objectives, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices. It involves applying risk-based decision-making to ensure security measures are proportionate to the threats faced, balancing protection, operational effectiveness, and compliance with the organisations need and context.

As leading players in MOD’s cyber security transformation to Secure by Design (SbD), we are looking for team members and leaders who share our vision that cyber risk management is driven by business requirements and a holistic view of security that can guide clients to secure solutions that support their business objectives.

Why Join Us?

• Work on impactful projects that drive efficiency and innovation across diverse sectors.
• Access professional development pathways tailored to your career ambitions.
• Enjoy flexible working arrangements and a competitive benefits package.

What the team say

“At Logiq, I love being part of a team that thrives on exciting, fast-paced projects in complex environments. We focus on delivering real value rather than getting bogged down by unnecessary processes. The collaborative culture encourages initiative and empowers me to make impactful decisions, with support always available when I need it. I also feel supported in my project work and career development, with plenty of opportunities to enhance my skills and take on new challenges. Logiq’s investment in its people ensures I have both the tools and encouragement to achieve my goals.

As someone with a challenging home life, including children with additional needs, the hybrid working model has been invaluable. Logiq treats me as a professional, trusting me to manage my work, projects, and outputs while balancing my family commitments. The flexibility to adapt my schedule for school runs and care needs, combined with a supportive team and rewarding work, makes this a truly unique place to grow and succeed.”

The Role:

We are seeking an exceptionally capable Security Consultant to join the company within the Risk Management team within the Security Practice.
