I’m working with a confidential client in the Financial Services sector to find an experienced Security Consultant to join their team on a 6-month contract.
The Role
This is a trusted-advisor role sitting across Product, Engineering and Architecture, embedding secure-by-design principles into delivery without slowing teams down. You’ll lead secure design reviews and threat modelling for key solutions, provide clear and actionable security guidance, and apply CIS-aligned security NFRs and patterns across cloud, identity and application security — all within a structured governance lifecycle aligned to Design Authority and CAB.
Key Responsibilities

- Embed secure-by-design principles across delivery
- Lead secure design reviews and threat modelling (STRIDE preferred)
- Provide clear, actionable security guidance aligned to delivery
- Apply CIS-aligned security NFRs and patterns across cloud, identity and application security
- Support teams implementing security within the SDLC
- Align with Design Authority (DA) and CAB, delivering assurance and confirmation outcomes
- Identify and drive remediation of security technical debt with clear ownership and timelines
- Build strong stakeholder relationships through pragmatic, outcome-focused advice
What We’re Looking For
- Proven background in Financial Services or another heavily regulated environment (essential)
- An architecture-oriented profile — comfortable operating at a design/solution level, not just tactical delivery
- Hands-on threat modelling experience, STRIDE preferred
- Strong knowledge of Azure security, IAM, and application/API security
- Experience embedding security within Agile delivery teams / SDLC
- Comfortable working with Design Authority (DA) and CAB governance
- Relevant certifications: CISSP, CISM, SC-100 or equivalent
