• Offer expert input into network security and general cyber security best practices (no hands-on configuration required).
• Advise on cloud security initiatives within Azure.
• Collaborate closely with project teams to align security measures with business objectives.
• Act as a trusted partner to the Cyber Security Manager and work alongside 3-5 other Security Advisors.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience delivering Data Loss Prevention projects in complex environments.
• Strong generalist cyber security knowledge, particularly in networking principles.
• Exposure to Azure cloud security and related project consulting.
• Experience with SASE or similar security architecture projects.
• Ability to work across multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Mid–Senior level security advisory skills, with excellent communication and stakeholder engagement capabilities.

• Join a collaborative and supportive security team where contractors are treated as valued team members.
• Variety of projects and the opportunity to influence strategy across multiple streams.
