The consulting market has seen a shift away from the larger career-limiting consultancies towards the more boutique-size consultancies - such as my client. They've been enjoying sustained growth in a difficult market and they're in a position to take the business in directions that follow the current cyber threat landscape and provide a wrap-around service that will help protect their clients against those threats.

And that's exactly where you come in. You'll be joining as the key technical consultant to support and enhance their current service offering. This is a real chance for you to be the central figure as they look to build a successful technical arm to what's already a thriving business.

This could cover areas such as cloud security, network security, endpoint security and security architecture reviews and IT security audits. From advisory to hands-on.
2. Working with the CTO, you'll support the review and development of the internal network, tooling and architectural initiatives.
3. Along with the senior leadership, you'll consider how the technical services can be evolved and improved to enhance the service offering to the client.
