This is an excellent opportunity for someone fairly early in their cyber or information security career (not entry level) who wants exposure to a wide range of security disciplines, client environments and real-world challenges. The role offers strong development support, varied project work and clear progression. Candidates must be UK-based, with full right to work in the UK without sponsorship.

• Assessing and improving supply chain security
• Advising on secure application and software development
• Contributing to physical security testing activities
• Delivering security awareness sessions
• Completing risk assessments and threat modelling
• Writing and reviewing security policies and governance documentation

Experience required:

• 2+ years experience in information or cyber security
• Previous consultancy experience with the ability to engage effectively with clients/customers and understand their requirements
• Ability to simplify complex topics and offer practical, grounded advice
• An understanding of ISO 27001, GDPR, or broader information-security concepts/frameworks
• Are comfortable engaging with clients and stakeholders
• Curious, self-directed, and motivated to work towards further industry certifications
• Someone who enjoys solving problems, not just following checklists
• UK-based, with full right to work in the UK without sponsorship

Why Join?

• £55,000-£65,000 salary, depending on experience
• 25 days' annual leave + bank holidays + other benefits
• Remote-first flexibility
• A people-first culture that values kindness, curiosity, and growth
