Associate Cyber Security Consultant

About the Role

At SecurityHQ, we're looking for an Associate Cyber Security Consultant to join our London team. This role is ideal for someone with a few years of SOC experience who wants to move into consultancy and take the next step in their cyber career.

You'll be part of a close-knit team of 22 Cyber Security Consultants based in our Blackfriars office, where collaboration and supporting one another is genuinely part of the culture. This is a hybrid role, with three days a week in the office.

Working with customers, you'll help improve their security posture through monitoring, security guidance, risk awareness activities, and consultancy support. You'll also gain hands-on experience with technologies such as Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, and Google Security Operations.

We're big believers in developing our people. We support job-related training and professional certifications, and every year our Cyber Security Consultants from across the globe come together for a training retreat to learn, share experiences, and build lasting connections.

If you're ready to step beyond the SOC and into a more customer-focused role with plenty of support, learning opportunities, and a great team around you, we'd love to hear from you.
