Job description

As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced "AI-native platform.". We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We're proud to work for a mission‑driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation. We use an AI‑first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About the Role:

CrowdStrike’s Strategic Advisory Services team assists our customers with a wide array of proactive engagements to help enhance security programs, educate employees, and develop tailored cyber initiatives. The Consultant role is one of the primary contributors to engagement delivery, with a strong focus on task‑oriented activities, reporting, and supporting engagement leadership to ensure projects are performed on time and to our highest standards. Consultants will also have the opportunity to contribute to thought leadership, methodology development, and other "back of office" tasks, as a secondary function of the role.

Am I a Strategic Consultant Candidate?

Do you find yourself keeping up with the latest cyber breaches?

Do you want to help companies protect themselves against malicious adversaries?

Are you interested in learning your customer’s maturity and pain points to develop a plan to improve?

Are you looking for opportunities to learn from the best in the business while developing your own skill set?

Are you comfortable working independently as well as with a team?

Are you ready to “do the work” while also being given opportunities to contribute to the broader business where possible?

Are you self‑motivated and looking for an opportunity to rapidly accelerate your skills?

Do you crave new and innovative work that actually matters to your customer?

Do you have strong communication and writing skills?

Are you the smartest person on your current team?

Would you prefer to engage peers who challenge you daily?

• Security Program Development: you’ve personally contributed to the development, management, and implementation of a security program, helping organization build, enhance, or recalibrate their plans for a successful future‑leaning security program.

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world’s leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware‑based defenses. Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed — one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware. There’s much more to the story of how Falcon has redefined endpoint protection but there’s only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.
