About The Role

The European (EMEA) FTI Cybersecurity team is a dynamic and skill-diverse group of individuals driven by a single goal: empowering our clients to operate in the most secure manner possible.

The varied professional backgrounds boasted by our team include senior national security roles, Big Four consultancy, military engineering, digital forensics, corporate cybersecurity advisory and academia – with each of these providing valuable approaches and perspectives to the work we deliver.

Our projects are varied and exciting; whilst, at times, our clients approach us to help them proactively identify the critical security gaps in their infrastructure, the FTI Cybersecurity team regularly respond to clients in distress who’ve fallen victim to cyber-attacks and cyber-enabled frauds of varying types and severity.

We excel at, and are motivated by, solving complex challenges, and offering constructive solutions to difficult cybersecurity questions; and our high client return rate is demonstrative of our commitment to cultivating client relationships, discretion, agile responsiveness, thorough investigation, and unambiguous guidance.

We operate as one global cybersecurity team and P&L.

Collaboration, both within our team and with other parts of the business (such are Strategic Communications, Technology and Data Science), are central to how we operate.

Our engagements typically draw on expertise from across our business and geographies.

As a relatively new team within FTI Consulting, our spirit is fundamentally entrepreneurial – we thrive on initiative, actively encouraging team members at all levels to own and drive aspects of our development.

We are working hard to foster a culture of inclusivity and respect based on team-oriented thinking and honest, open communication.

Our leadership acknowledge that team members will have responsibilities and demands on their time outside of work and will always make every effort to offer flexible and/or remote working to accommodate these other priorities.

We value talent and look for aptitude.

We recognize that our success is a function of the talent that we hire, and we will invest in your continuous professional development.

We value diversity of opinion and background, and we understand the importance of nurturing a positive working environment and culture.
