Lead Cyber Security Consultant | Lead Delivery. Practice

Lead Cyber Security Consultant

Cyber Chain Alliance was founded from a desire to do consultancy differently.

Not louder. Not bigger. Just better.

We believe cyber should be accessible. That organisations deserve advice that fits their reality. And that consultants deserve autonomy, progression and the chance to influence the direction of the business they’re part of.

We’re entering a new stage of growth and we’re looking for a Lead Cyber Security Consultant who wants to play a key role in what comes next.

This is a senior, hands-on consulting role – but with broader responsibility for helping us run and develop our Consulting Practice.

You’ll continue to lead and personally deliver complex client engagements across areas such as CAF, ISO 27001 (including full end-to-end implementation), ISO 42001, NIST CSF and Cyber Incident Exercising, advising clients on governance, risk and assurance challenges.

You’ll take ownership of engagements from scoping through to completion. You’ll assess controls, identify risks, design practical improvements and work closely with senior stakeholders to turn complex requirements into clear, actionable outcomes.

But this role goes further than individual delivery.

Working closely with our Practice Director, you’ll act as a key deputy across the Consulting Practice. You’ll provide day-to-day support and direction to the consulting team, maintain visibility of delivery and resourcing, help resolve issues and ensure we continue to deliver consistently high-quality work for our clients.

You’ll also bring a strong understanding of the commercial mechanics of consultancy.

You’ll contribute to P&L performance, forecasting, utilisation and capacity planning. You’ll scope and price work, review Statements of Work and understand the relationship between what we sell, what it costs us to deliver and the margin we achieve.

We’re looking for someone who has done this before. Someone who understands not only how to deliver great consulting work, but what it takes to run a successful consulting practice.

You’ll still be close to clients. You’ll still deliver. But you’ll also have a much wider view of the practice and a meaningful role in how we operate, perform and grow.

This isn't a move away from consulting into management.

It’s an opportunity to combine the two.

You’ll remain hands-on and client‑facing while taking on genuine leadership and commercial responsibility. You’ll be close to the decisions around our people, our clients, our pipeline and how we grow the practice.

You won’t sit several layers removed from decision‑making. You’ll work directly with the Practice Director, with the autonomy and trust to make things happen.

We are remote‑first and genuinely flexible. We care about outcomes, not presenteeism. Autonomy isn’t a perk here, it’s part of how we work.

We’ve designed our approach to benefits and flexibility with our people in mind, recognising that life doesn’t look the same for everyone.

Some of our team are building families. Some are caring for others. Some are deepening their expertise. Some are exploring leadership. What works at one stage of life may not work at another, and we try to reflect that in how we support our people.

That includes meaningful leave, strong family support, healthcare and wellbeing provision, income protection, pension contribution, professional development investment and space to step back when needed.

More importantly, it includes a culture where those things are genuinely usable without explanation or apology.

People stay because they feel supported. Because there’s balance. Because it feels sustainable.

You’ll bring significant experience within cyber…
