Great opportunity to work for a boutique consultancy focused on assisting clients with their most complex cyber security and resilience problems. The team engages at all levels but specialises in assisting and advising boards and senior management, with first-hand experience dealing with the unique challenges cyber and resilience poses for leadership teams and functions.

Our client is looking for an experienced Senior Cyber Security & Technology Resilience Consultant to play a critical role in helping organisations strengthen their cyber, technology, and operational resilience. This position is ideal for a technically minded professional who excels at advising organisations on recovery strategies, resilience engineering, and security governance across complex technology environments.

In this role, you will apply deep expertise across cybersecurity, technology resilience, and incident recovery. You will lead assessments of information security maturity, cyber and technology resilience capabilities, and enterprise recovery readiness using recognised industry frameworks. A core part of your work will involve developing actionable resilience and recovery roadmaps, identifying architectural and operational weaknesses, and mapping critical dependencies to ensure organisations can withstand and recover from disruptive events.

Key responsibilities include conducting Business Impact Assessments, performing risk assessments, and designing Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). You will evaluate and advise on recovery technologies and processes, such as backup and restore tools, high-availability and failover solutions, incident response platforms, digital forensics capabilities, continuity planning tooling, and resilience monitoring technologies. You will help embed effective processes for detection, containment, response, and recovery, ensuring alignment with risk appetite, regulatory expectations, and frameworks including NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK, ISO 27001/22301, ISF, and the UK CAF.

You will also partner closely with CISOs, technology leaders, and operational resilience teams, providing hands‑on support for security transformation initiatives, resilience uplift programmes, and recovery enhancements. Ownership of project quality, technical review of deliverables, and driving continuous improvement through lessons learned will be essential.

In addition to client delivery, you will help shape the resilience service offering by developing innovative proposals, identifying new opportunities, strengthening senior‑level stakeholder relationships, and contributing to thought leadership. You will also support the development of methodologies, create knowledge assets, and coach junior team members to accelerate their technical growth.

You need to have at least five years of external consulting experience, a relevant technical degree, and strong knowledge of resilience architecture, recovery technologies, and modern cyber security threats. You understand risk‑based decision making and have hands‑on experience with leading frameworks. Certifications such as CISSP or CISM are highly beneficial.
