Description
Lead Cyber Security, Risk & Resilience Consultant | Hands-On FS Consulting | London | £120k to £140k
Are you a Cyber Security professional who combines deep technical delivery with the confidence to lead client-facing work in complex financial services environments?
At Projective Group, we partner with leading organisations to tackle their toughest challenges and deliver innovative solutions.
Specialising in Data, Risk & Compliance, Payments, and Transformation, we help financial services businesses thrive in a rapidly evolving industry.
Cyber Security is a growing and strategically important part of that story, and that’s where you come in.
This is a newly created Lead Cyber Security, Risk & Resilience Consultant role, designed to build and shape our hands-on Resilience delivery capability as client demand continues to grow.
Requirements
- What we’re looking for
- You don’t need to tick every box, but you’ll likely bring strong hands-on experience in:
- Cyber Security, cyber risk, cyber controls, and associated engineering and implementation work.
- Security testing (e. g. threat-led testing, vulnerability management, scenario testing, ISO Standards).
- Threat intelligence or proactive threat monitoring.
- Experience working in Financial Services environments (banks, regulated firms).
- Previous Consultancy experience where you’re comfortable with ambiguity, pace, and client expectations.
- Confidence leading workstreams and coordinating other consultants.
- Enough governance and risk knowledge to contextualise your technical work, even if it’s not your core strength.
- Explain complex security topics without the jargon overload.
- A versatile and flexible person who also has experience in delivery or contribution to Resilience themed projects such as TPRM, DORA and Operational Resilience regulatory driven projects.
- Tools & environment
- Our clients’ toolsets vary, but you’ll feel at home if you’ve worked with:
- Common security tooling (SIEMs, vulnerability scanners, cloud security platforms, Firewalls).
- Data protection and incident response capabilities.
- Threat intelligence sources and industry information sharing.
- Identity Access Management processes and tooling.
- Why this role is different
- A chance to shape how cyber security work is delivered, rather than stepping into a rigid or pre-defined model.
- Real influence over delivery quality, client relationships, and the future development of cyber capability.
- A role that balances hands-on technical delivery with leadership and visibility.
- An environment that values quality, pragmatism, and clear accountability.
- An opportunity to work on other Resilience themed projects such as TPRM, and Operational Resilience.
We care far more about how you think and deliver than whether you’ve used one specific vendor tool.
