Job description

Principal Cloud Security Engineer / Consultant | London | Up to £120,000

Want to shape a Cloud Security practice rather than just deliver within one?

A PE-backed professional services consultancy is growing its Cyber Security practice and looking for a senior Cloud Security professional to help shape its next stage of growth.

This is a genuine opportunity to have influence over:

• Technical direction across the Cloud Security function
• Senior client relationships and complex security engagements
• Cloud Security strategy and architecture
• Practice development and future capability
• Leadership and progression within a growing cyber consultancy

You'll be joining at a point where your experience can directly influence how the Cloud Security offering develops, rather than stepping into a heavily established framework.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing secure architectures across AWS, Azure & GCP
• Advising on enterprise cloud transformation and migration
• Building and maturing DevSecOps capabilities
• Embedding security into CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code
• Leading cloud security governance and architecture assurance
• Conducting threat modelling, risk and maturity assessments
• Advising senior stakeholders on complex security decisions
• Helping shape and grow the wider Cloud Security practice

What They're Looking For

• 5+ years' experience in Multi-Cloud Security
• Experience designing and delivering cloud security solutions
• Strong experience across AWS, Azure and/or GCP
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Comfortable engaging directly with clients
• Consultancy experience is not essential

Package

Salary: Up to £120,000 base, depending on experience

Working: Ideally 1 day per week in London

Progression: Significant scope for leadership and career development

If you're a senior Cloud Security professional looking for more influence, more client exposure and the opportunity to help build something, this could be worth a conversation.
