• A strong background in consulting or professional services, with experience managing client-facing engagements.

• Practical experience assessing and improving cyber risk frameworks, governance processes and third-party controls.

• Familiarity with recognised security standards and regulatory requirements, such as ISO 27001, NIST and DORA.

• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and communicating complex technical matters clearly.

• Experience taking ownership of projects, managing competing priorities and delivering high-quality outcomes.

• A relevant professional certification, such as CISSP or CISM, would be highly beneficial.

• An interest in mentoring others, developing client relationships and contributing to wider business growth.
