Job description

Online Information Security Risk Consultant

Make a Meaningful Impact Every Day Have you ever been part of a project where the results were real and visible? That’s exactly what you’ll experience here. Your work will protect data, help organisations keep their systems safe, and make the digital world just a little more secure. If you enjoy spotting risks before they turn into problems, thinking ahead, and solving challenges, you’ll do well in this role. And the best part? You’re free to work from wherever suits you—your living room, a busy café, or a quiet cabin—so long as you have a reliable internet connection and a passion for online safety.

Why This Work Matters

Online threats never take a day off, and neither do we. From clever phishing attempts to ransomware attacks that can freeze an entire business, the dangers are everywhere. Here, you’ll focus on more than policies—you’ll give people the insight, tools, and confidence to stay ahead. Not long ago, a teammate identified a small but serious configuration error that could have exposed sensitive data. The fix was made in just a few hours, saving the client weeks of potential trouble. That’s the kind of win you’ll help create.

What You’ll Be Doing

No two days will look alike. One morning, you might be analysing security risks for a fintech client. Later, you could be running an online training for healthcare staff. You might:

• Review cloud settings to ensure nothing is unintentionally exposed.
• Break down security rules into simple, everyday language.
• Spot patterns in incident logs before they grow into bigger issues.
• Build step-by-step plans teams can actually follow.

Sometimes, you’ll be the translator between tech-heavy details and clear, actionable advice.

The Team Around You

This is a remote role, but you won’t be working in isolation. You’ll collaborate with a group of skilled security pros, IT experts, and compliance specialists who share knowledge freely. We kick off each week with a short video call—sharing updates, quick wins, and sometimes a laugh. Smaller team check-ins throughout the week help keep projects moving smoothly. If a teammate hits a roadblock, someone always steps in. We believe in helping each other succeed.

Skills That Will Help You Succeed

You don’t need to meet every single requirement, but it’s great if you have:

• Solid experience with recognised security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, or CIS.
• Hands‑on knowledge of risk evaluation and incident management.
• Comfort engaging with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A talent for simplifying complex concepts.
• Understanding of cloud‑based systems and their potential weak spots.
• Skill in recognising unusual patterns or inconsistencies within data.
• If you can get teams to embrace security practices without making them feel like a burden, you’ll stand out.

A Quick Story From the Job

During a project with a retail client, one of our consultants spotted that backups were storing customer data without encryption. Instead of sending over a dry report, they called the client, explained the risk in plain terms, and the fix was done before the day ended. That’s the hands‑on, proactive style we appreciate.

Building Your Career Here

Cybersecurity evolves quickly, and we’ll make sure you do too. You’ll have:

• Access to advanced training.
• Support for earning new certifications.
• Opportunities to lead projects with real influence.
• Experience working with clients across multiple sectors.

Here, you’ll constantly grow your skills and knowledge.

Work-Life Balance That’s Real

Your work matters, but so does your life. With flexible remote arrangements, you can adjust your day to fit your needs. Need to run an errand or start earlier so you can wrap up sooner? That works here. We even hold optional virtual coffee chats to keep connections strong.

Pay and Benefits

We believe in recognising your value. This position offers a salary of $102,000 per year, along with benefits that support both your growth at work and your well‑being outside of it. Some highlights:

• Flexible hours.
• Paid leave you’ll actually enjoy.
• Wellness resources.
• A budget for skill development.

Who Fits Right In

We’d like to work with someone who’s naturally curious, ready to ask questions, and keen to solve problems. You’ll understand that good security isn’t just about stopping attacks—it’s about building trust and confidence. If you’re adaptable, collaborative, and eager to take on challenges, you’ll feel at home here.
