Technical Security Advisor London, England, United Kingdom

At Resilience, we’re creating a new category that integrates cybersecurity, cyber insurance, and cyber risk management. Founded in 2016 by experts from across the highest tiers of the US military and intelligence communities – and built by prominent leaders and innovators from the insurance, technology, and cybersecurity industries – Resilience is rewriting the rules of how cyber risk is assessed, measured, and managed. Our integrated cyber risk solutions connect risk quantification software, cybersecurity experts, and A+ rated cyber insurance, all purpose‑built for middle and large organizations.

Guided strongly by our mission and four core values - transparency, excellence, grit, and humility, our culture uniquely blends many different backgrounds, experiences, and skills from across industries and geographies - all focused on helping our clients and partners stay ahead of the bad guys. We are a cybersecurity company, a Cyber and Tech E&O‑focused MGA, a fintech startup, and a data science powerhouse, all purposefully built into one.

Resilience is proud to be backed by leading technology investment firms, including General Catalyst, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Intact Ventures, Founders Fund, CRV, and Shield Capital. With headquarters in San Francisco, Resilience’s team is globally dispersed, with offices in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Toronto, and London. Resilience offers insurance coverage through its licensed and appointed insurance agents and security services through its expert security team.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Technical Security Advisor to join our growing Security and Risk Services team. In this role, you will be a key player in our Edge Solution, acting as a Cyber Risk Strategist to proactively manage and quantify client cyber risk. This is a strategic advisory role focused on translating technical security into financial business impact, moving beyond reactive technical support. You will also be a key stakeholder in providing real‑world inputs to the development of our Software as a Service Platform as well as take key roles in Customer Engagement Team projects.

• Security Consulting (Cyber Risk Quantification & Strategy):
• Lead Strategic Client Enablement: Drive the technical execution of a structured client onboarding "sprint" (e.g., 60-90 days), empowering clients to quickly realise platform value.
• Quantify Risk for Executives: Leverage the Resilience platform's data and analytics to prepare and deliver high‑stakes overviews to client leadership (CISO, CFO), showcasing their quantified Loss Exceedance Curve (LEC) and the Return on Investment (ROI) of their security controls.
• Cyber Action Plan (CAP) Guidance: Guide client technical teams on prioritising remediation efforts based on the platform's financial cost‑benefit analysis, ensuring clarity that the CAP is a platform‑driven recommendation.
• Own the technical solution response and help deliver a comprehensive Resilience solution response that leverages the Resilience SaaS platform and your expertise.
• Act as a technical security subject matter expert for internal (Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Underwriting) and external (customers and insurance brokers) audiences that connect security to risk.
• Assist with risk selection in collaboration with Underwriting.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, understanding their security needs and concerns.
• Communicate complex security concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Deliver high‑quality security consulting services that meet client expectations and regulatory requirements.
• Stay up-to-date on the latest cybersecurity threats, trends, and best practices.
• Participate in industry conferences and training programs to enhance knowledge and skills.
• Be hyper focused on your book of business, working with Customer Success Managers to identify and execute retention strategies and identify expansion opportunities.
• Support marketing efforts in projecting thought leadership through presentations at conferences and engagement with insurance industry stakeholders by facilitating tabletop training scenarios and other general security training.
• Contribute to the development of Resilience TTX methodologies and best practices.
• Support other cybersecurity initiatives as needed.

• Required Languages: Italian: Business Professional proficiency is required. You must be comfortable conducting technical discussions and executive presentations with Italian clientele.
• Experience & Education:
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Economics, or Finance. A Master’s degree or MBA is a plus but not required.
• Professional Experience: 4-8 years in information security.
• Advisory Experience: At least 3+ years in a client‑facing consulting, advisory, or sales engineering role.
• Framework Knowledge: 4+ years of experience with cyber risk management principles and frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, GDPR, NIS2).
• Broad Security Fluency: You are deeply conversant in a wide range of security domains (e.g., EDR, MFA, Backup strategies, Incident Response) and can explain their business value to non‑technical stakeholders. Note: Deep hands‑on engineering or coding is not required; conceptual mastery and the ability to explain complex topics are essential.
• Consultative Communication: Strong ability to "reframe" client objections and conduct business‑level discovery with C‑suite stakeholders.
• Project Management: Ability to manage multiple client "sprints" simultaneously, driving them to specific timelines and outcomes.
• Analytical Mindset: Comfortable discussing financial concepts (ROI, cost‑benefit analysis) alongside technical security controls.
