Principal Security Consultant (Risk Management)

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

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 organisation’s needs 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.

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. Our consultants are engaged across Security Engineering and Assurance tasks, working on parallel projects and workstreams, and take the lead on day-to-day client interface. You will also be comfortable enhancing customer relationships with new opportunities and assisting with bids and presales where necessary.

You will have experience of working across system lifecycles and be capable of supporting clients through business-focused requirement specification and definition. You will have a broad experience of technical security, producing technical risk assessments and solution architecture documents.

The ideal candidate will be both experienced and invested in ensuring that our clients’ solutions are Secure by Design. To enable this, strong inter-personal skills are essential, e.g. ability to lead workshops, engage with business leaders, and interact with diverse project teams and stakeholders.

With your experience you will be comfortable operating in a ‘customer friend’ type role, supporting the client to develop and deliver secure systems, understanding risks and managing complex system security whilst communicating effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Your experience will include:

Expertise in Defensive Cyber, Enterprise Architecture, Secure Systems, Network & Cloud Security, System Hardening, Cryptographic Controls (PKI, Data at Rest/In Transit), Protective Monitoring, and Security Auditing.
Strong understanding of the ISO 27000 series, NIST Cyber Security & Risk Management Frameworks, NCSC CAF, and other industry standards.
Familiarity with NCSC guidance and legacy Information Assurance (IA) standards.
Experience with MOD security frameworks including JSP 604, JSP 440, JSP 902, and DEFCON 659A.
Experience in business growth and bid development is desirable.

What We’re Looking for:

Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), or another industry recognised cyber security certification.
Full Membership of the Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec) - highly desirable.
Chartered or Principal status via the UK Cyber Security Council for Risk Management.
IEng or CEng registered with UK Engineering body.
Chartership through the British Computer Society.

Logiq is committed to investing in people, offering a clear progression pathway into our consultancy service, and we will passionately support professional growth to develop our employees.

Flexible working is available, including part‑time / term‑time patterns. All suggestions are welcomed and will be discussed as part of a proposed employment package.

Logiq is dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace. Our commitment is to ensure equal opportunities for all in both employment and career advancement. We base our decisions on individual merit, qualifications, and suitability for the role, without regard to gender, age, marital or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, race, religion, or national background.
