Purpose

 

You will be at the forefront of helping our customers understand and strengthen their overall security posture, supporting them in building resilience against evolving threats. Your mission is to deliver high-quality cybersecurity consulting and assessment engagements, executed with precision, insight, and professionalism, that go beyond identifying vulnerabilities to uncover structural weaknesses, assess control effectiveness, and provide clear, actionable guidance to manage and reduce risk.

You will lead complex cybersecurity assurance engagements that help clients strengthen resilience and compliance across multiple frameworks, with particular expertise in PCI DSS and related  programmes (e.g. P2PE, PIN and SSF). 

As an experienced cybersecurity specialist with hands-on technical expertise, you’ll combine deep domain knowledge with the ability to communicate clearly and confidently. You’ll translate complex findings into practical, actionable guidance, ensuring stakeholders feel informed, empowered, and resilient.

To succeed in this role

  • You will empower individuals and organizations to understand complex cybersecurity threats, prepare effectively, and make sound, strategic decisions
  • You will deliver high quality cybersecurity compliance assessments in line with our organisation's standards and methodologies
  • You will build trust with clients as a recognised cybersecurity expert they can turn to with confidence whenever they need guidance or assurance
  • You will provide clear, actionable recommendations that improve your clients’ cybersecurity posture and maturity, supporting long-term resilience and risk reduction
  • You will mentor consultants and contribute to the ongoing improvement of our security assessment methodologies
  • You will adopt a proactive mindset: seeking opportunities to improve efficiency, suggest new ideas, and contribute to the development of new service lines
  • You will manage challenges with confidence, escalating early where needed and working collaboratively to find solutions
  • You will demonstrate outstanding delivery in every engagement, upholding our reputation for excellence
  • You will embody the team spirit that defines us: everyone has a voice, and everyone can help shape the future of the company.

In this role, you will

  • Stay ahead of emerging threats, regulations, and technologies to ensure advice is always relevant and best in class
  • Execute cybersecurity assessments in line with the standards and methodologies defined by the business
  • Participate in complex or Tier 1 client assessments, ensuring delivery quality and technical precision
  • Identify risks, vulnerabilities, and areas for improvement across client environments
  • Communicate complex  findings clearly and effectively, adapting to the needs of each customer and audience
  • Provide practical, best-practice recommendations that clients can act on with confidence
  • Collaborate with colleagues to refine and evolve our approach to security assessments
  • Work with our sales force to ensure customer needs are accurately captured and explore opportunities to deepen relationships.

You are expected to bring

  • A strong foundation that may come from formal study in Information Security or IT, or from years of real-world experience — both paths are equally valued
  • Active PCI QSA qualification with 3+ years of Level 1 assessment experience
  • Demonstrable experience with PCI-related programmes (e.g., P2PE, PIN, SSF/3DS), additional certifications in these areas are highly desirable
  • Experience with at least one ISMS (e.g., ISO 27001, COBIT)
  • Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning and penetration testing tools
  • Confidence in your understanding of the SDLC and how cybersecurity applies throughout each stage
  • Strong understanding of IP networks, protocols, and system architectures
  • Solid grounding in cryptography concepts and implementations
  • 5+ years’ experience with cybersecurity compliance assessments
  • Exceptional communication skills,  able to simplify complexity and inspire confidence
  • A resilient, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to take ownership and the awareness to seek support when needed
