• Experience applying security frameworks and standards such as NIST, ISO, OWASP, PKI, TLS.

• Knowledge of network security (TCP/IP, OSI), web application security, and cryptographic controls.

• Strong communication skills – able to translate complex security issues for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Hands-on experience with Continuous Security, CI/CD, and security testing tools.

Desirable

• Identity management and access control expertise.

• Experience across governance, risk, compliance, and operational security.

• Relevant certifications (OSCP, CREST, TIGER, CISSP, etc.).

• Experience leading teams of security engineers or architects.

Why Apply?

• Excellent career progression opportunities within a high-performing consultancy.
