As a Senior Cloud Security Consultant, you will act as a trusted advisor to clients, helping them assess, strengthen and optimise their cloud security posture.

• Leading workshops to define cloud security strategy, governance models and control frameworks
• Supporting incident response and remediation activities related to cloud environments
• Collaborating with SOC and Engineering teams to strengthen detection, telemetry and visibility
• Mentoring junior consultants and contributing to the development of cloud security methodologies

What You’ll Bring

• 4 or more years of experience in cloud security consulting, architecture or engineering
• Deep technical understanding of Azure and AWS security services, controls and architecture design
• Proven experience delivering cloud security assessments and secure cloud solution design
• Strong knowledge of IAM, networking, encryption, monitoring and incident response in cloud environments
• Familiarity with Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty and other native tools
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and business needs
• Understanding of hybrid connectivity, zero trust architecture and secure cloud migration

Desirable Experience

• Experience with DevSecOps practices, CI / CD security and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, ARM or CloudFormation
• Multi cloud exposure including GCP

What You’ll Get

• Salary up to £85,000 plus bonus
• Hybrid working and flexible hours
• Funded training, certifications and career mentoring
• Access to leading tools, labs and cloud learning platforms
• Private healthcare, pension and wellbeing support
• Collaborative, inclusive culture built around growth, innovation and trust

If you are ready to take the next step in your cloud security career and want to do it in a company that invests in your development, values your expertise and celebrates success together, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact securing enterprise cloud environments across the UK and beyond.
