Talentedge is proud to be partnering with a rapidly growing cyber and risk advisory practice that is expanding due to strong client demand for practical, business-focused security expertise.

• Work closely with technical and business stakeholders to design or enhance control frameworks aligned to recognised standards
• Stay current with emerging threats, regulatory developments, and industry best practice
• Contribute to improving internal methodologies and developing new security service offerings
• Build strong, trusted client relationships and identify opportunities to support future security initiatives
• Support business development activity including proposals, workshops, thought leadership content, and presentations

This role suits someone who is curious, proactive, and genuinely motivated by helping clients improve security outcomes.

• Background in cyber security consulting, security auditing, or risk advisory
• Proven experience delivering client-facing cyber risk engagements
• Exposure to recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, NCSC guidance, or GDPR
• Strong communication skills — able to translate complex technical concepts into clear business language
• Experience managing or supporting engagements independently and collaboratively
• Comfortable working with organisations ranging from SMEs to large enterprise environments
• Experience supporting or preparing for certification or assurance audits (e.g. ISO 27001, SOC-type frameworks, Cyber Essentials-style schemes)

Desirable:

• Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, or ISO Lead Auditor / Implementer
• Exposure to vulnerability assessment or penetration testing concepts
• Understanding of cloud security principles across platforms such as AWS, Azure, or modern SaaS ecosystems
• Familiarity with SIEM tools, security automation, or modern security technologies
• Hands-on background in IT or security engineering, secure architecture, or control implementation
• Awareness of Operational Technology security or industrial security standards

• Exposure to a wide and interesting client portfolio
• Opportunity to deepen both technical and advisory skillsets
