On behalf of our non-for-profit sector client, I'm on the lookout for a Cyber Security Consultant with some experience in a cyber role looking to expand on their skill set across multiple cyber and infosec domains.

With the support of the Cyber Security Manager and other security team members, this role will touch on IAM, SIEM, EDR and vulnerability management tool tweaking, integrating security into project life cycles, GRC certifications, 3rd party risk and assurance and more.

Working with in-house developers and providing some advice on SDLC security
Performing vulnerability scanning and remediation
Working with the organisation's managed service provider and helping to manage alerts coming through
Working with governance colleagues on the Cyber Essentials certification 
Helping the organisation with 3rd party risk management and assurance 
What I'm looking for:

Experience in a cybersecurity or infrastructure security role.
Experience of commonplace SIEM and vulnerability management tools
Strong knowledge of detection and response solutions, such as EDR, XDR and MDR.
Knowledge of how to integrate security into project lifecycles
Effective communication skills, with the ability to document findings and engage stakeholders clearly.
Working knowledge of compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST.
Comfortable investigating incidents and proposing technical and procedural improvements.
Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines.
Solid understanding of email security gateway technologies.
