- Identify, develop, and close new consulting opportunities in areas such as cyber risk, compliance, IAM, and cyber defence
- Establish and maintain strong client relationships, primarily with medium to large enterprises across the UK
- Represent the brand in the UK market, helping to build visibility and recognition of the firm’s capabilities
- Provide insights into cybersecurity trends and advise clients on best-fit strategies and frameworks

- Participate in shaping the go-to-market strategy and contribute to brand positioning efforts in the UK
Requirements
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in business development within the consulting domain
- Proven track record of developing new business in the UK cybersecurity space – ideally with strong existing relationships in the commercial sector
- Valid understanding of risk and compliance, cyber strategy, and cyber defense consulting
- Comfortable operating in a start-up or scale-up environment – entrepreneurial mindset is essential
