Job Description

Presales Architect (Cyber, Resilience, Risk)

£80,000 – £100,000 (DOE)

London (Hybrid)

We’re looking for a seasoned cybersecurity professional who’s equally comfortable talking strategy with a CISO as they are mapping out a delivery plan with a project team. If you’ve built your career at the intersection of technology, trust, and transformation—this could be the next step you’ve been waiting for.

This is a strategic, client-facing role for someone who thrives in highly regulated industries. You'll be advising some of the UK's most complex organisations across financial services, healthcare, central government, and defence—helping them solve business-critical problems that span compliance, security operations, and crisis management.

What you’ll be doing

• Engaging clients as a trusted advisor on cybersecurity, resilience, compliance, and risk
• Identifying and shaping multifaceted solutions that combine consulting, technology, and managed services
• Leading pre-sales conversations while also embedding yourself in 10–20% delivery work—ensuring what you sell, you help see through
• Listening beyond the brief: recognising adjacent opportunities when clients share broader concerns
• Working closely with consulting, delivery, and alliance teams to build credible, high-impact propositions

What we’re looking for

• Broad experience across GRC, SOC, Disaster Recovery, operational resilience, and beyond
• Proven ability to sell and deliver—ideally across consulting and managed services, not just tools
• Gravitas and commercial instinct in C-level environments
• An adaptive communicator
• A self-starter with energy and ambition
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks (e.g., DORA, NIST) and cyber risk in highly scrutinised sectors
• A background that includes both strategic and technical fluency—ideally with recognised external certifications

What’s on offer

• £80,000–£100,000 DOE with an 80/20 bonus structure
• Private medical, pension, and other core benefits
