Capability Lead – Cyber Security
Permanent | South West | Agile and hybrid working available
Lead the launch of a new cyber capability
This is a rare opportunity to shape and grow a new cyber security business unit within a well-established technical consultancy. Working in close partnership with a respected organisation, you’ll take ownership of strategy, sales and delivery in a role that combines autonomy with meaningful impact.
Flexibility and freedom
Agile and hybrid working options are available, with a base location in the South West. This role is designed to suit professionals who value flexibility while driving forward strategic growth.
Your mission
You’ll define and implement the cyber security strategy, develop sales plans and lead client engagement across new and existing accounts. From negotiating deals to collaborating with technical and delivery teams, you’ll play a central role in building a high-performing capability that supports critical national infrastructure and defence programmes.
In addition to leading the development of the new business unit, you’ll also be responsible for supporting the cyber security elements of current and upcoming projects, ensuring alignment with client needs and regulatory standards.
What you’ll bring
You’ll have experience in cyber security, ideally in safety-related or assurance roles. A strong understanding of information assurance, cyber consulting and industry standards is essential, along with relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCP, CISA or ITIL. Experience with MOD, HMG, SCADA, ICS or critical infrastructure is highly desirable.
You’ll also be a confident communicator, strategic thinker and natural relationship builder, with a collaborative mindset and a drive to deliver results.
Why this team?
You’ll be joining a forward-thinking organisation with a strong track record in defence and engineering consultancy. The culture is inclusive, supportive and values-led, with a commitment to professional development and employee wellbeing. Veterans, reservists and military families are a valued part of the workforce.
Due to the nature of work at our client’s site, these vacancies are only open to British Citizens who hold SC clearance or can obtain it.
This is a permanent role.
