Junior Cyber Security Consultant

Junior Cyber Security Consultant | South East London | Remote | £55,000 - £66,000

We're working with a specialist, people-first UK cyber security consultancy on this exciting opportunity. This is a rare chance for a junior professional to move away from repetitive shift work and into a high-impact, client-facing role that blends technical Incident Response with strategic GRC advisory.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between technical security controls and business logic, working alongside expert senior mentors to deliver comprehensive security roadmaps for a diverse client base. You’ll be leveraging frameworks like ISO27001 and GDPR while getting hands-on with operational security improvements and tabletop exercises.

The Role

• Lead multi-workstream security projects, guiding clients through complex technology and process changes to strengthen their security posture.

• Support hands-on operational areas including Incident Response (IR) planning, monitoring practices, and foundational Cloud Security assessments.

• Facilitate high-stakes workshops, stakeholder interviews, and Incident Response tabletop exercises to test organizational resilience.

• Conduct deep-dive maturity assessments and gap analyses against ISO27001 and GDPR frameworks to produce prioritized action plans.

• Develop and manage risk registers, security policies, and audit readiness programs while translating technical vulnerabilities into business-focused language.

What You'll Need

• 1-3 years of professional experience within Cyber Security, specifically with exposure to Incident Response or Incident Handling.

• Practical knowledge of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks, particularly ISO27001 and Data Protection/GDPR.

• A personable and confident communication style, with the ability to put stakeholders at ease and explain complex IR concepts simply.

• Experience or strong interest in performing security audits, third-party assurance, and developing risk management processes.

• Proactive mindset and a UK-based location with full right to work.

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary of £55,000 - £66,000 plus a comprehensive benefits package.

• Fully remote-first, flexible working environment that prioritizes your work-life balance.

• Accelerated career growth through direct mentorship from senior consultants and exposure to diverse technical environments.

• A collaborative and kind team culture where curiosity is rewarded and your impact is visible from day one.
