Job Description

Junior Cybersecurity Consultant

Location: Hybrid – 2days / wk London – Sorry, NO Sponsorship available

Salary: £35k – £45k

You’re early in your cyber career — but you’re hungry to grow fast, do meaningful work, and progress your journey in cyber security.

We’re building a next-generation cybersecurity consultancy — one that does things differently. In a crowded market full of noise, we stand out by being the trusted, independent voice clients can rely on. No fluff. Just hands-on, pragmatic advice and support that makes organisations measurably more secure.

What You’ll Be Doing

From day one, you’ll be in the mix — working alongside experienced consultants and engaging directly with clients, including major household names. This role is hands-on, varied, and full of growth potential. The best way to learn is by doing, and that’s just what you’ll do.

You’ll:
• Support the delivery of projects like security gap analysis, maturity reviews, risk assessments, technical evaluations, and crisis simulations.
• Run aspects of client engagements — including semi-automated reviews of cloud environments, security questionnaires, and technical documentation.
• Help clients understand and prioritise risks — then develop effective, real-world solutions and controls to address them.
• Work across IT and business teams to deliver clear, actionable recommendations.
• Draft client-ready reports and documentation, supported by senior consultants.
• Get involved in pre-sales conversations and help spot new opportunities for us to add value.
• Build lasting client relationships by being a trusted, honest voice that delivers real outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

We’re not expecting years of experience — we’re looking for driven individuals with a real passion for cybersecurity and the ambition to accelerate their career.

You’re probably a fit if you:
• Are passionate about cyber and genuinely want to build a career in this space.
• Have exposure to core cybersecurity principles, tools, or methodologies — and a desire to keep learning.
• Bring a proactive, “let’s make it happen” mindset to your work.
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and change — you like fast-moving environments and problem-solving.
• Communicate clearly and professionally — both in writing and in person.
• Have a high work rate, strong integrity, and a collaborative approach.
• Bonus: you’ve had some experience in a client-facing or consulting role — even if it’s been limited.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

If you’re looking for a junior cybersecurity role where you won’t be lost in the background — where you’ll learn, grow, and make a real impact — we’d love to hear from you.
