Principle Cyber Security Engineer

We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people‑first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start‑ups, in every sector.

Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organisations tick – slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges. We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world – from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there’s a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.
