Cyber Security Consultant

About Elixirr

Elixirr is the challenger consultancy. We help our clients innovate, transform, and grow — pushing the boundaries of traditional consulting. We’re expanding our cyber capability to meet growing client demand and are looking for experienced cyber security consulting professionals to help build and shape our offering. If you're entrepreneurial, commercially minded, and ready to challenge the status quo, this is your opportunity.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Cyber Security Consultant to lead and deliver client engagements across a range of industries. This role is ideal for someone with deep consulting experience in cyber security and a strong understanding of how organisations can build resilience, manage cyber risk, and align security with broader business objectives.

You will operate at the intersection of strategy and cyber risk, supporting C-suite clients in making informed, strategic decisions in an increasingly complex digital environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead cyber security consulting engagements, delivering strategic advice across cyber risk, resilience, governance, and operating models
• Develop and maintain strong client relationships with senior stakeholders (CISO, CIO, CRO, etc.)
• Translate complex cyber threats and issues into clear business language and actionable recommendations
• Shape and contribute to Elixirr’s growing cyber proposition – including thought leadership, tools, and methodologies
• Support business development, including identifying opportunities, drafting proposals, and pitching solutions
• Contribute to internal capability building, including team development and knowledge sharing

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2-4 years’ experience in consulting, ideally within a top-tier or boutique consultancy with a focus on cyber security
• Strong track record of delivering strategic cyber engagements, such as:
  • Cyber strategy & maturity assessments
  • Target operating model design
  • Regulatory readiness (e.g. DORA, NIS2, GDPR)
  • Cyber risk management & governance
  • Board-level cyber advisory
• Excellent strategic and general consulting experience
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and simplify complex concepts
• Commercial mindset, entrepreneurial energy, and a collaborative approach
• Relevant certifications (e.g. CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001) are a plus but not essential

Why Elixirr?

• Challenger mindset: We don’t follow — we lead. We work differently and with impact.
• Entrepreneurial culture: Shape your role, build IP, and drive real growth in a fast-scaling firm.
• Client diversity: Work across industries and with ambitious businesses – from FTSE 100 to high-growth scale-ups.
• Opportunity to lead: Get involved in building a practice, not just delivering work.
• Hybrid working: Flexibility, autonomy, and a supportive high-performance team.
