For our people—Kyndryls—that means doing purposeful work that powers human progress. Join us and experience a flexible, supportive environment where your well‑being is prioritized and your potential can thrive.

The Role

At Kyndryl, our Security Consultants are game‑changers, constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and transforming the way our customers do business. We’re looking for a talented individual who thrives in a dynamic environment and is ready to take on the challenge of protecting organizations from threats both known and unknown – being the defender of tomorrow’s digital world.

As a Security Consultant, you’ll be the guardian of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, ensuring organizations are shielded from the ever‑evolving threat landscape. Your expertise will be sought after as you assess, analyze, and implement effective security measures in customer environments, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to safeguarding their most sensitive data.

Collaboration will be your forte, as you work closely with clients to understand their unique security requirements and assess their current security posture. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll provide expert guidance and recommendations on the best security practices, risk management strategies, and robust security policies that will fortify their defenses.

You won’t stop at providing advice; you’ll roll up your sleeves and get hands‑on. Designing and implementing security controls, policies, and procedures will be your playground. You’ll work alongside cross‑functional teams to deploy state‑of‑the‑art technologies, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, access controls, and encryption technologies, ensuring a comprehensive security framework.

The thrill of uncovering vulnerabilities and risks is what motivates you. Armed with your extensive knowledge, you’ll conduct thorough security assessments, leaving no stone unturned in identifying potential security breaches. Your findings will serve as the foundation for meticulous security audits and reviews, ensuring adherence to policies and procedures. Your reports and findings will be the catalyst for management decisions and actions.

In the fast‑paced world of cybersecurity, staying ahead of the game is crucial. That’s why you’ll continuously immerse yourself in the latest security threats, technologies, and best practices. Your recommendations will drive enhancements to the organization’s security posture, ensuring it remains at the cutting edge of defense.

Your influence won’t be limited to systems alone. You’ll lend your expertise to the design and review of IT infrastructure, systems, and applications, ensuring they are secure by design from inception.

Not only will you make an impact within our organization, but you’ll also collaborate with customers and vendors on security assessments, audits, and due diligence activities. Your knowledge and experience will be instrumental in shaping secure collaborations and partnerships.
