Cyber Security Consultant
Gloucester / Hybrid (3 days per week in office)
Salary – £60,000 – £70,000
Most job ads for cyber roles read like someone emptied a bucket of buzzwords onto a page and hoped for the best. This isn’t that.
My client is looking for a Cyber Security Consultant who can do more than point at a risk register and nod thoughtfully. We want someone who can actually talk to people – the kind who can explain a real‑world cyber threat to a stakeholder without them needing a translator or a stiff drink.
If you’re the sort of person who enjoys telling a project team “it depends” and then actually explaining what it depends on, keep reading.
What you’ll actually be doing
- Supporting business projects – You’ll be the person people come to when they want to know whether their bright idea is secure, sensible, or a future headline waiting to happen.
- Vulnerability & Pen Testing oversight – You’ll be the escalation point when tools, scanners, and vendors start shouting about things that may or may not matter. You’ll help the business figure out which fires are real.
- Third‑Party Risk Management – You’ll own the process. Yes, own. Not “support”, not “assist”, not “be aware of”.
- Procurement support – Sometimes you’ll be doing deep‑dive due diligence yourself. Sometimes you’ll just be the adult in the room.
- Team development – You’ll mentor junior team members, helping them grow into confident, capable security professionals rather than human ticket‑closing machines.
What you’ll need
- 5+ years doing real cyber security work – not just watching dashboards.
- A strong grasp of enterprise ICT, security principles, and cloud security.
- Good knowledge around Vulnerability Management and working with Testing teams
- Understanding of CI/CD and how security fits into it without being the department of “no”.
- Communication skills that don’t require subtitles.
If you’re the sort of person who can explain a vulnerability without turning it into a TED Talk, you’ll fit in fine.
What’s in it for you
- Up to 12% employer pension contribution.
- A bonus scheme up to 24% – yes, really.
Why this role matters
Cyber security only works when the business understands it. You’ll be the person who makes that happen – translating risk into reality, guiding decisions, and shaping how the organisation protects itself.
If you want a role where you can influence, mentor, and actually make things better – not just tick boxes – this is it.
