Job Title: Junior Consultant - Cybersecurity
Location: Hybrid (occasional travel to Manchester)
Type: Full-Time
A fast-growing UK-based cybersecurity consultancy is looking to expand its technical team with the addition of a Junior Consultant. Specialising in preventative cybersecurity, the organisation helps clients improve their IT cleanliness through services such as patch and vulnerability management, product engineering, and project delivery.
With clients ranging from mid-sized businesses to enterprises of over 100,000 employees, the consultancy has built a reputation for delivering practical, security-focused solutions. Following recent client wins, they are entering a new phase of growth and are seeking a technically capable and highly motivated individual to join the team.
The Role
The Junior Consultant will play a hands-on technical role, working across multiple projects involving modern cybersecurity tools and practices. While the position is remote-first, the successful candidate will be expected to attend in-person team meetings in Central or South Manchester twice a month and travel to client sites on occasion (UK and Europe).
This is an ideal opportunity for someone at the early stages of their career—perhaps a recent graduate programme or apprenticeship completer—who is eager to develop in a fast-paced and varied environment. The role offers exposure to AI-driven workflows, a broad range of technologies, and mentoring from highly experienced professionals.

Collaborate with internal and client teams to troubleshoot and resolve issues

Participate in the design and automation of IT/security processes
Stay up to date with emerging technologies, particularly in the AI and cybersecurity space
Completion of a graduate scheme, degree apprenticeship, or equivalent practical experience in IT or cybersecurity
Familiarity with major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Understanding of core cybersecurity principles (e.g. encryption, access control)
Strong troubleshooting skills and a methodical approach to problem-solving
Good written communication and documentation abilities
Experience in large or enterprise-scale organisations
Familiarity with scripting languages such as PowerShell, Bash, or Python
Understanding of automation tools (e.g. Ansible, Chef)
Exposure to patch and vulnerability management tools or frameworks
Knowledge of basic networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, firewalls)
Awareness of platforms like Tanium or other systems management tools
Experience with AI in technical workflows
Understanding of identity and access management (IAM)
