Cyber Assurance Consultant

Role: Cyber and Information Assurance Consultant – Mid, Senior & Principal Levels

Location: Nottingham / Remote-first

Working Arrangement: Remote-first, with travel to Nottingham and customer sites as required

Salary: £65,000–£120,000

Are you a cyber security or information assurance professional who enjoys working with customers, getting into complex problems and turning security risks into practical solutions?

We’re looking for Cyber and Information Assurance Consultants across Mid, Senior and Principal levels to join a growing team working on complex, high-assurance environments across defence, government and critical infrastructure.

This is a consultancy-focused role, so you won’t be sitting in a purely internal security position. You’ll work directly with customers, technical teams and senior stakeholders to assess risk, understand threats and vulnerabilities, and provide clear recommendations on how security can be improved.

You’ll work across areas including cyber risk assessments, information assurance, security governance and secure-by-design. Depending on your level and experience, you could be reviewing solution designs, developing security cases, supporting accreditation and assurance activity, maintaining risk registers or helping shape security requirements across major programmes.

You’ll also work closely with architects, engineers, project teams, suppliers and customer security teams. A big part of the role will be taking technical evidence and security requirements and explaining what they actually mean from a risk and business perspective.

You’ll ideally have professional experience in cyber security, information assurance, risk management, systems engineering or a related discipline, alongside experience contributing to security assessment or assurance work. You’ll need to be comfortable producing clear security documentation and communicating with both technical and non-technical audiences.

Knowledge of areas such as cyber risk management, security controls, threat and vulnerability assessment, security governance and risk acceptance is important. Experience with frameworks such as ISO 27001, ISO 27005, the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, NIST or MOD security standards would be beneficial.

Experience within defence, government, critical infrastructure or another high-assurance environment would be particularly relevant. Experience with cloud security assurance, security architecture reviews, accreditation or secure information exchange would also be useful.

The level you join at will depend on your experience, with opportunities available from Mid-level through to Principal. There is a clear progression route into senior consultancy, security architecture, cyber risk leadership and information assurance leadership, with support towards professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC and ISO 27001.

The role is remote-first, although you’ll need to be comfortable travelling to the Nottingham office and customer sites when required. Regular UK travel may form part of the role, with occasional international travel possible.

If you’re looking for a role where you can work on genuinely complex security challenges, have direct customer exposure and continue developing your career across cyber security and assurance, please apply now or get in touch to find out more.

We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background
