Cyber Services Advisor

Canopius is looking for a confident, commercially minded cybersecurity professional to join our Cyber Insights & Analytics team, part of the Cyber Underwriting division.

This is a client-facing advisory role combining cybersecurity expertise, cyber risk management and stakeholder engagement. Working closely with our global Cyber Services team and cyber underwriters, you will help clients understand their cyber exposures, strengthen their resilience and navigate an evolving threat landscape.

You will play a key role in delivering proactive cybersecurity services to policyholders, including cybersecurity tabletop exercises, security awareness and training sessions, data-led cyber risk reports and tailored advisory engagements. You will also work alongside underwriters, brokers and internal stakeholders to translate technical information and threat intelligence into practical, commercially relevant insights.

We are looking for someone with strong cybersecurity foundations who can confidently lead client engagements, communicate complex topics to a range of audiences and exercise sound professional judgement. Success in this role will depend as much on your ability to build relationships, communicate effectively and provide practical advice as on your technical knowledge.

You will deliver client engagements with a degree of autonomy, working closely with the wider Cyber Insights & Analytics team to coordinate activities, share expertise and contribute to the ongoing development of Canopius' proactive cyber services offering.

• Lead the delivery of assigned cybersecurity advisory engagements for policyholders, working independently where appropriate and collaborating with the wider team on more complex engagements.
• Design and facilitate cyber incident tabletop exercises, helping clients evaluate their response capabilities, identify weaknesses and improve their preparedness.
• Deliver security awareness training, cyber risk briefings, workshops and other client-facing educational services.
• Assess clients' cybersecurity risks and controls, providing proportionate, practical recommendations to strengthen their security posture.
• Tailor advisory services and recommendations to clients' industries, operational environments, organisational maturity and threat exposure.
• Translate cybersecurity findings into clear business risks, helping clients understand and prioritise appropriate risk mitigation measures.

• Develop trusted relationships with policyholders, brokers, cyber underwriters and other internal and external stakeholders.
• Act as a point of contact for clients and underwriters on assigned Cyber Services activities, maintaining strong working relationships and coordinating with the wider global team.
• Engage with clients to understand their needs, identify relevant cybersecurity challenges and recommend appropriate advisory services.
• Confidently present technical information and recommendations to audiences with varying levels of cybersecurity knowledge, including senior business stakeholders.
• Support policyholder onboarding and ongoing engagement, promoting awareness and effective use of Canopius' proactive cyber services.

• Apply cyber threat intelligence and industry research to advisory engagements, ensuring recommendations reflect credible and relevant threats.
• Contribute to the wider team's production of threat intelligence data and analysis, to then communicate relevant risk insights and practical recommendations to clients and underwriters.
• Support the development and delivery of sector-specific threat intelligence reports, cyber risk briefings, webinars and thought leadership.
• Communicate the implications of emerging threats and significant cyber incidents, including relevant attack pathways, business impacts and mitigating controls.
• Work with the Cyber Services Manager and wider team to ensure threat intelligence and analytical outputs are effectively incorporated into client services and stakeholder communications.
• Work closely with cyber underwriters to provide technical cybersecurity advice and support risk assessment activities.
• Communicate the significance of cybersecurity findings from different sources in the context of an organisation's overall risk profile.
• Support underwriters in understanding emerging cybersecurity risks, security control effectiveness and industry-specific threat exposures.
