Job description

About Baringa

Baringa is a global consulting firm that partners with leaders to drive change and create value. With deep industry expertise, and enabled by advanced technology, the firm helps clients to deliver with greater confidence and certainty. With over 2,000 people across the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, the firm combines global insight with local understanding. The firm works across energy and resources, financial services, government and public sector, consumer products and retail, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, manufacturing, and technology, media and telecoms, with capabilities spanning strategy, transformation and operational excellence - all powered by advanced technology, data, AI and digital innovation. Clients value Baringa’s collaborative approach and the way its teams integrate seamlessly - all working with a shared understanding of what matters most. The firm is known for its kind, curious experts who listen closely and care deeply about client success as they help clients transform energy markets, modernise financial platforms, expand telecoms and digital networks through advanced data analytics, enable digital services in government, and unlock growth in consumer sectors. Certified as a Great Place to Work around the world, Baringa has been recognised by the Financial Times in 22 categories of its UK Leading Management Consultants rankings, and by Forbes for four consecutive years as one of the World’s Best Management Consulting Firms. Digital risk, cyber security and resilience are no longer cost centres - they are where value is won or lost. The Jaguar Land Rover cyber attack cost the company £196m and had a £1.9bn impact on the UK economy. The damage wasn't a data breach, it was an attack on the connected technology that runs the business. We protect the things which underpin our daily lives: energy, water, payments, banking, hospitals and critical public services – and the supply chains behind them. We don't just advise clients; we design, build and stand up the frameworks, operating models and tooling that keep working long after we leave. We're a specialist team scaling fast, and we're independent by design: no software to resell, no audit relationship to protect, so nothing shapes our advice except the problem in front of you. We work in small, senior teams – so you own real client relationships and real commercial outcomes from day one. We’re looking for Senior Managers who want to be the name clients ask for and the market knows. This is a role for people who want to win and deliver work while they build a practice: originating opportunities, leading complex engagements, and growing the reputations – theirs and ours – that open the next door. Our Digital Risk and Cyber (DRC) practice is scaling fast, and we're looking for experienced consultants who want to build and solve, not just advise. Our Digital Risk And Cyber (DRC) Team Helps Clients Secure The Things That Matter Most – From Their Overall Security Strategy And Operating Model, To The Specific Technologies That Drive Value In Their Business. Our Work Is Organised Around Two Specialisms

Our Work Is Organised Around Two Specialisms

• Digital Resilience: helping clients meet fast-moving security, resilience and regulatory obligations such as the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and EU AI Act, and the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill.
• Digital Trust: helping clients govern emerging technology and security risk, including AI, cloud and post-quantum cryptography.

We also build security into our clients' biggest change and transformation programmes, and run the regulatory and standards compliance work that underpins their operations.

We are independent by design. With no software to resell and no audit relationship to protect, our people can give a genuinely honest view – and be trusted advisors in the truest sense.

What you will be doing

• Win the work: Originate, scope and close opportunities – building pipeline, shaping proposals and taking personal accountability for a share of the practice's growth.
• Lead the work: Run complex, multi-workstream engagements as the senior expert clients trust – setting direction, owning the commercials, and being accountable for quality and impact.
• Lead the people: Build, motivate and stretch delivery teams – coaching Consultants, Senior Consultants and Managers, and making Baringa a place strong people want to stay.
• Own the relationships: Build and hold trusted relationships at CISO and executive level, turning single engagements into lasting accounts.
• Be the expert others seek out: Become a recognised SME – Internally and in the market – through points of view, speaking and content that open specific client conversations.
• Build the business: Contribute to our propositions, our go-to-market and our talent, taking a real stake in how fast we grow – as a member of the team building the practice, not just running engagements.

Your Skills And Experience

We care more about the shape of your experience than a checklist. If most of the following sound like you, we'd like to hear from you:

• A track record of winning work: Demonstrable experience originating and closing cyber, resilience or digital risk work – building pipeline, shaping bids and owning a personal sales contribution.
• Engagement leadership: The credibility to lead complex, multi-workstream engagements as a senior expert, balancing deep cyber knowledge with commercial and stakeholder judgement.
• People leadership: Experience leading and developing mixed delivery teams, and coaching others to perform.
• Senior client relationships: A network you can activate, and the ability to build trusted relationships at CISO and board level.
• Digital risk and cyber depth: A strong track record in digital risk, cyber security or resilience, gained in consulting or in-house, and a clear view on where the market is heading – DORA, the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, CAF, AI and cloud risk.
• Technology and AI literacy: Fluency in, or real curiosity about, using AI to deliver and advising clients on securing and governing it.
• Depth in one or more of our domains: Meaningful experience in at least one area we operate in – particularly OT/ICS security, CAF, AI security and governance, post-quantum and cryptographic agility, or operational resilience.

Bonus points

• Certifications: For example CISSP, CCSP or AIGP – a plus, but no substitute for real-world experience.
• Building tooling and automation: Hands-on with building, not just using – for example agentic AI, Power BI, Power Apps, risk quantification models or digital twins.
