As they continue to grow into new markets around the world, there's never been a more exciting time to join the organisation.

We have an exciting opportunity for a cyber professional to work alongside a diverse and experienced team responsible for conducting analysis of and delivering consultancy on the security posture of complex system architectures for our UK & international clients within Government, Defence / National Security and Financial sectors.
By collaborating with other architect disciplines and technical experts you will deliver a security viewpoint on architectures that will inform the design while ensuring security requirements are met. You will also be required to work collaboratively with other security experts, including Information Assurance consultants, accreditors, analysts and penetration testers to inform secure architectural design that meets all relevant governance requirements.
You'll gain experience across a wide variety of areas within cyber, this includes but not limited to, security assurance, accreditation, Government and commercial frameworks and related technical guidance/best practice.
