What You'll Bring:
* Strong 3 Party / Professional Services consulting experience, ideally in less framework-heavy environments, where creativity and dynamism get the job done.

* A background in Cyber, Cloud or Networking is useful - even if not current/up to date.
* Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, PCI etc. are great - but your professionalism and gravitas to drive meaningful change as a trusted advisor matter most.
You:
* A natural communicator, listener and relationship builder - confident, but never arrogant
* Able to simplify complexity and bring clarity to clients
* Able to respectfully challenge and shape beliefs, educate, share, define and plan

Why Join?
