About You

You will be engaging with change programs and project teams to embed security by design into business change, ensuring security is considered early and throughout the delivery lifecycle.
Deliver security advisory services to the business, acting as a trusted consultant to stakeholders at all levels — from project teams to senior leadership.
Lead threat modelling exercises across programs and key systems, translating findings into clear, business-relevant risk statements for non-technical audiences.
Conduct security architecture reviews, assessing proposals and designs against NIST CSF, COBIT, and internal standards.
Conduct risk assessments of AI systems and AI-enabled products, covering risks such as model integrity, bias, data poisoning, and explainability.
Work collaboratively with other security teams to ensure appropriate security gates are completed across programs – including penetration testing and supplier assurance reviews where applicable.
Represent the team in governance forums, program boards, and working groups, communicating security risk with clarity and authority.
Manage multiple concurrent workstreams, delivering quality outputs against competing priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Mentor junior consultants through day-to-day guidance, quality review, and knowledge sharing.

Essential Skills

Significant experience in an information security advisory or consultancy role.
Proven threat modelling capability — able to lead sessions and communicate outputs to senior, non-technical stakeholders.
Demonstrable experience assessing security and risk in AI systems or AI-enabled products.
Exceptional communication skills — able to translate technical risk into plain language for executive audiences.
Experience conducting security architecture reviews across application, platform, or infrastructure programs.
A genuine commitment to continuous learning — actively staying current with the evolving threat landscape, emerging technologies, and developments across the cyber security industry.
