Job Description:

Job role: Junior Technical Consultant – Cybersecurity & Infrastructure

Location: Fully remote (occasional travel to customer sites and monthly team meetups in Manchester)

Join a fast-growing cybersecurity consultancy supporting global enterprises with preventative security strategies. This is a unique opportunity for an early-career technologist to work closely with experienced engineers, develop technical skills across multiple disciplines, and travel to exciting locations like Florida and Sweden.

About the Role:

We are hiring 1–2 Junior Technical Consultants to join our high-performing team. You’ll spend the first few months shadowing experienced professionals, gaining exposure to real-world systems, and learning cutting-edge technology. As you grow in confidence, you’ll support a wide range of customers from mid-size enterprises to household-name multinationals (ranging from 1,000 to 100,000+ employees).

What You’ll Do:

• Assist with IT and cybersecurity consultancy projects including patching, vulnerability management, automation, and transformation.
• Troubleshoot OS-level issues (Windows/macOS/Linux) and document solutions.
• Apply security best practices and problem-solving skills to customer challenges.
• Write and run scripts using Python, PowerShell, or Bash.
• Contribute to system automation and process improvements using tools like Ansible (nice to have).
• Collaborate with a team of 10 consultants in a non-micromanaged, highly autonomous environment.
• Occasionally travel for customer site visits and team meetings (UK & Northern Europe).

About You:

• Strong communicator – articulate, polite, and process-driven.
• A background in STEM, technology apprenticeships, or recent experience in IT consultancy or financial services.
• Completed a graduate scheme or have equivalent commercial experience.
• Comfortable working remotely and managing your own workload.
• Enthusiastic about tech, security, and helping customers solve problems.
• Ideally, you’ve had exposure to a large enterprise environment (e.g. consultancies or regulated sectors).

Technical Skills Required:

• Familiarity with OS administration and troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of basic security principles (e.g. IAM, encryption).
• Scripting skills in Python, Bash, or PowerShell (essential).
• Understanding of networking fundamentals and patch/vulnerability management.
• Desirable: Exposure to Tanium or similar endpoint management tools, and automation with Ansible.

What’s On Offer:

• Fully remote work
• 25 days holiday + 2 bonus days + mid-year and year-end bonuses
• Paid travel for work (including international opportunities)
• A tech-savvy, diverse team
• Access to cutting-edge tools and technologies including AI integration
