Associate Partner – Cyber Security (Cloud, IAM, DORA, AI Security)

Location: UK-wide, Hybrid

This is your chance to join a fast-growing cyber security consulting business at Associate Partner level — helping shape a next-generation offering at a global technology powerhouse going through a major transformation.

We’re looking for someone who blends deep cyber domain expertise with sharp commercial instincts — someone who can win the trust of CxOs, lead complex programmes, and help drive the next phase of growth in a business that’s investing heavily in its security consulting capability.

You’ll be a senior figure in a growing leadership team, helping to scale one of the most ambitious cyber consulting practices in the UK — with serious backing, a flat structure, and the freedom to make an impact from day one.

What you’ll be doing:

• Helping to scale a rapidly growing cyber consulting practice, as it expands from 50 to 100+ consultants this year
• Leading client engagements across cloud security, IAM, DORA readiness, and AI security — advising CISOs and senior stakeholders on enterprise challenges
• Playing a hands-on role in business development — supporting major pursuits, helping shape propositions, and contributing to pipeline growth
• Owning delivery across major cyber programmes, bringing technical credibility and leadership to complex environments
• Supporting junior talent, contributing to knowledge sharing, and helping build out internal delivery capabilities
• Representing the business externally through thought leadership, events, and industry forums

What we’re looking for:

• A strong technical grounding in one or more of: IAM, Cloud Security, DORA, or AI Security
• Proven experience delivering large-scale cyber security programmes (not just audit, policy, or compliance)
• A commercial mindset — comfortable with pre-sales, client relationships, and shaping new opportunities
• Credibility at CxO level, with the ability to act as a trusted advisor across FS, insurance, utilities, or other regulated industries
• Ideally, a mix of backgrounds — someone who’s worked in traditional IT environments and transitioned into modern consulting (e.g. from DXC, Fujitsu, or Capgemini into a Deloitte, PA, or boutique)
• The ambition to grow into a full Partner role and help shape something new

Why this, why now?

This is a firm in motion — having recently separated from one of the world’s most iconic tech brands, it's now free to reinvent itself as a modern, consulting-led organisation. Cyber security is central to that reinvention.

There’s major global investment behind this practice and a leadership team committed to change. You’ll have the space to define your own market, shape propositions, and grow toward full Partner — all while being supported by the reach and scale of a global organisation.

You won’t be buried in layers of process. You’ll be on the front line helping build a cyber consulting business with real influence — and the opportunity to progress fast.
