* Provide expert GRC guidance, helping clients build, assess, and mature their cybersecurity posture.
* Conduct vulnerability assessments and collaborate on remediation through services such as MDR, DLP, and Penetration Testing.

* Partner with Sales, Leadership, and Technical teams to support pre-sales activity and shape tailored client security strategies.

* Proficiency with common cybersecurity tools and technologies, and a strong knowledge of current cybersecurity threats, trends, and mitigation strategies, ideally around vulnerability management or incident response.
* Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or CEH (preferred).
* Excellent communication skills, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders, including C-level executives.
* Ability to manage multiple engagements, balancing technical insight with commercial awareness.
