Cyber Security Delivery Manager | £80-90k | Portsmouth (Hybrid) | SC Clearance Eligibility essential
All the relevant skills, qualifications and experience that a successful applicant will need are listed in the following description.
Are you a senior cyber security professional who can lead from the front - advising at board level one day and getting hands-on with a security architecture review the next?
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-regarded cyber security consultancy based in Hampshire. They work with a range of clients on complex, meaningful security challenges - and they're looking for an experienced Cyber Manager to join the senior team.
This isn't a purely strategic role. You'll lead engagements, grow client relationships, and help shape the direction of the business - but you'll also roll your sleeves up when the work demands it.
Salary: £80,000-90,000
Package: Gym, private medical insurance, company pension, work from home flex
Working Structure: Hybrid remote in Portsmouth (2 days onsite)
Security Clearance: Active or Eligible for SC clearance.
The Role:
As Cyber Security Delivery Manager, you'll take ownership of client engagements from start to finish, covering risk assessments, security architecture reviews, policy development, incident response planning, and governance work. You'll be the senior point of contact on engagements, ensuring quality and consistency across everything that goes out the door.

Leading end-to-end cyber security engagements across advisory and hands-on delivery
Managing multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring delivery quality and client satisfaction
Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, including at CISO and board level
Leading proposals and bids, contributing to go-to-market strategy and service development
Supporting and developing junior and mid-level consultants through active mentoring
Putting sensible operational processes in place and keeping day-to-day delivery on track
Contributing to hiring decisions as the team grows
What You'll Need:
Significant experience delivering cyber security projects in a consultancy or professional services environment
Strong technical knowledge across core cyber domains - risk management, security architecture, governance, assurance, or incident response
CISSP, CISM, or equivalent professional certification
A proven track record of leading teams and managing senior client relationships
The ability to communicate complex security topics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Eligibility to obtain or active SC (Security Clearance)
Self-motivated, decisive, and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy
Desired but not essential:
Experience across multiple disciplines such as GRC, penetration testing, SOC, cloud security, or OT security
Familiarity with frameworks including NIST, ISO 27001, CAF, or Cyber Essentials
Experience working with government, defence, or critical national infrastructure clients
Additional certifications such as CREST, OSCP, or NCSC Certified Professional
