You will operate at both strategic and delivery levels, helping clients align cyber initiatives with broader organisational goals.

  • Strong understanding of Operational Technology (OT) environments, including DCS, SCADA, and ICS, with alignment to NCSC CAF, IEC 62443, and NIST 800-82.
  • Experience supporting Ofgem regulatory compliance, including ISSA returns and NIS Regulations.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex programmes, manage multidisciplinary teams, and engage with technical, business, and regulatory stakeholders.
  • Skilled in developing and maintaining senior-level relationships (CIO, CTO, COO, CISO).
  • Ability to produce compelling consultancy propositions and thought leadership.
  • Deep knowledge of information security legislation, emerging threats, and best practices.
  • Strong leadership and mentoring skills to build and develop high-performing teams.
