You'll collaborate across enterprise architectures to produce end-to-end security designs, assisting on bids and proposals, as well as implementations and integrations. Liaising with stakeholders at all levels, you'll help build the full landscape security view that underpins systems resilience and client confidence. We need senior members who are design authorities, and junior members to work alongside them, developing their skills and understanding.

We're recruiting at all levels, so you'll have between 1 to 30+ years of experience consulting on delivering and implementing secure system design - ideally as a technical security lead for senior roles. You'll understand why security is at the centre of everything we do, and have the communication skills to persuade others, justifying secure architecture design to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders. We'll also look for your experience and knowledge in:

• Security standards and frameworks (MoD and HMG experiences helpful)
• Cloud‑based cyber security principles and architecture points
• Boundary controls, network segmentation and access control
• Identity and Access Management (including RBAC and A/PBAC, permissions management)
• Cryptographic techniques and implementations
• IT asset management and tracking
• Vulnerability Management and Patching
• SIEM principles, products and supporting logging infrastructure
• Containerisation and virtual machine security
• Delivering secure solutions against project expectations
• Strong awareness of and commitment to industry best practice
• Driving change in a complex environment
