Job description

Join Polar Point and help shape cybersecurity that makes a real difference

At Polar Point, you will not be one consultant among many. You will join a growing cybersecurity company where senior expertise, trust and customer impact are at the center of everything we do.

We work closely with CISOs, IT leaders and security teams to help organizations strengthen resilience, reduce risk and gain better control of their digital environments. Our work combines strategic advisory, hands‑on implementation and long‑term customer relationships.

As a Senior Cyber Security Consultant, you will have the opportunity to influence both our customers’ security journeys and Polar Point’s continued growth. You will work in meaningful assignments, contribute to our service offerings and help build a company where technical excellence, clarity and responsibility matter.

About Polar Point

Polar Point AB is a Stockholm‑based cybersecurity consultancy helping Nordic organizations navigate complexity with clarity. We provide senior expertise, advisory services and practical security solutions that enable customers to manage cyber risk confidently while staying focused on their business.

Our core areas include identity and access management, endpoint security, vulnerability management, security platform implementation, compliance support, security health checks, AI security and project‑based cybersecurity delivery.

We are independent, pragmatic and outcome‑focused. Our ambition is to be a trusted cybersecurity partner for organizations that need senior guidance, hands‑on expertise and clear progress in complex environments.

About the role

As a Senior Cyber Security Consultant at Polar Point, you will play a key role in delivering high‑value cybersecurity services to our customers while contributing to the growth and development of our consulting practice.

You will combine deep technical understanding with advisory capability and business awareness. In practice, this means that you can move comfortably between strategic discussions with customer leadership, solution design with technical teams and hands‑on delivery in complex customer environments.

You will act as a trusted advisor, lead important security initiatives and help customers prioritise improvements that reduce risk and strengthen operational maturity. You will also contribute to business development in a consultative way by identifying customer needs, shaping new engagements and helping develop services that create measurable value.

What you will do

Customer delivery and technical leadership

• Lead and deliver cybersecurity consulting engagements in complex customer environments.
• Design, implement and improve security solutions across endpoint security, vulnerability management, identity, cloud and hybrid environments.
• Perform security assessments and translate findings into pragmatic, risk‑based recommendations.
• Provide senior technical guidance during implementations, security transformations and improvement programmes.
• Help customers strengthen cybersecurity hygiene, visibility, control and operational resilience.
• Support customers in aligning security improvements with business priorities, regulatory expectations and practical implementation constraints.

Advisory and project leadership

• Act as a trusted advisor to CISOs, IT leaders and other senior stakeholders.
• Lead security projects and initiatives from planning and scoping through execution and follow‑up.
• Coordinate stakeholders, manage scope, timelines, risks and dependencies.
• Support customer decision‑making by explaining complex security topics in a clear and business‑relevant way.
• Contribute to structured methods, playbooks, assessments and best practices used across Polar Point engagements.

Business development and practice growth

• Identify customer needs and opportunities within existing and new engagements.
• Support pre‑sales activities such as customer meetings, solution design, scoping and effort estimation.
• Contribute to proposals, presentations and service development.
• Help shape and improve Polar Point’s cybersecurity offerings.
• Share knowledge internally and support colleagues as we grow the consulting team.
• Contribute to long‑term customer relationships by delivering quality, clarity and trust in every assignment.

Who you are

You are an experienced cybersecurity professional who enjoys combining technical depth with advisory work. You are confident in customer‑facing situations and comfortable working with both technical specialists and senior decision‑makers.

You probably enjoy solving complex problems, creating structure in uncertain situations and helping customers move from analysis to practical improvement. You take ownership, communicate clearly and care about delivering outcomes that matter.

You will likely thrive at Polar Point if you:

• Want to be part of a growing specialist consultancy rather than a large anonymous organisation.
• Enjoy having influence over both customer delivery and company development.
• Are comfortable taking senior responsibility in customer engagements.
• Value trust, transparency and long‑term relationships.
• Like working close to experienced colleagues, founders and decision‑makers.
• Want to combine strategic advisory with hands‑on cybersecurity delivery.

We believe you have

• Approximately 10 years or more of experience in cybersecurity, security consulting or senior security delivery roles.
• Strong experience delivering cybersecurity improvements in customer or enterprise environments.
• Solid knowledge in one or more of the following areas: endpoint security, vulnerability management, identity and access management, cloud security, Microsoft security services, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID or security platform implementation.
• Experience leading or contributing to security projects, implementations or improvement programmes.
• Ability to translate technical findings into business‑relevant recommendations.
• Experience working with senior stakeholders such as CISOs, CIOs, IT leaders or security managers.
• A consultative mindset and the ability to identify customer needs, shape solutions and contribute to business development.
• Strong communication skills in both Swedish and English.
• Fluency in Swedish, written and spoken.
• Ability to obtain and maintain security clearance when required.

It is a plus if you also have

• Experience from large, complex or regulated organizations.
• Experience with security assessments, security health checks, Zero Trust initiatives or cyber maturity improvement.
• Experience with technologies and platforms such as Microsoft 365 Security, Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Tanium, Trend Vision One, BeyondTrust, Rapid7 or similar tools.
• Experience in IAM, PAM, endpoint management, EDR/XDR, vulnerability management, compliance or security operations.
• Experience working with frameworks or regulations such as ISO 27001, NIS2, NIST CSF, DORA or similar.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, Microsoft security certifications or vendor‑specific certifications.
• Certifications are valuable, but practical experience, sound judgement and proven customer impact matter most to us.

What we offer

At Polar Point, you will join a senior and entrepreneurial team with high ambitions and low prestige. We offer an environment where you can make a visible impact from day one - both for our customers and for the company we are building.

We offer:

• Senior and meaningful cybersecurity assignments with real customer impact.
• Close collaboration with experienced consultants, founders and company leadership.
• The opportunity to shape our services, methods and ways of working.
• A trust‑based culture with high responsibility and flexibility.
• Strong focus on quality, clarity and long‑term customer relationships.
• Room to grow professionally as Polar Point grows.
• Access to a wider specialist network through our partner ecosystem and alliance relationships.
• The chance to help build a cybersecurity consultancy with a clear Nordic identity and strong ambitions.

Location and working model

The role is based in Stockholm, with flexibility depending on assignment and customer needs. Some work will be performed remotely, while customer presence is expected when it creates value or is required for delivery.

Because many of our customers operate in Swedish‑speaking environments, fluent Swedish is required.
