Cyber Security Consultant – Cheltenham – £62,000
Security strategies don't deliver themselves.
Tools need implementing. Risks need managing. Policies need writing (properly, not copied off Google). And projects need someone who actually knows what they're doing when it comes to security.
That's where you come in.
This is a role with a purpose - and not just because it's in a non-profit. You'll be joining a sharp, small team where you'll actually matter. No endless hierarchies. No waiting for permission to do sensible things. Just you, your experience, and a security strategy that needs delivering.
Roughly speaking, you'll be doing:
* Being the security subject matter expert on a range of internal projects.
* Getting involved in the hands-on stuff - security tools, controls, and building out the environment properly.
* Writing, updating, and improving documentation - policies, procedures, standards - the kind auditors love and tech teams actually understand.
* Monitoring security maturity across multiple cloud platforms.
* Leading security testing engagements - and dealing with the inevitable fallout in a grown-up way.
* Working with internal teams and outsourced providers to keep the lights on securely and the board off your back.
* Keeping one eye on the threat landscape and the other on what could be improved right now.
What they'd like you to bring:
* A solid technical background - maybe from IT or engineering - and real-world experience with incident response.
* Experience with cloud platforms, tooling, and security architecture.
* GRC knowledge helps, but it's not the focus. This isn't a box-ticking gig - it's about making things better.
The Details:
* £62,000 salary. Straight up. No vague ranges or "dependent on experience".
* Two days a week in Cheltenham. The other three? Up to you.
* Roughly 50% of your time will be project-focused, the rest on longer-term strategy work.
If you're tired of being one cog in a bloated security team – or being stuck doing the same bit of the puzzle over and over again – this is a chance to do something broader. Deeper. More impactful.
_You know what to do.
