You will be a Senior Manager, with a technical cyber background combined with a proven consulting / professional services sector background

The role broadly covers three main areas:-

1. Leading the team – as a senior team member you will take an important role in helping to shape our consulting team, considering the skills we need, how we access additional capacity and where we need our people to be. You will also be a Performance Manager for up to five of our people supporting them in their own career journeys.
2. Leading on delivery – our Senior Managers will typically oversee a handful of engagements at any one time. You could be finishing off some whilst kicking off another. They will be of different sizes and in different subjects for clients across different industries with huge variety. On each you will have a team reporting to you and a Partner or Director you are supporting who has overall accountability for the work. You will bring your technical knowledge and consulting skills in to this work, sometimes at the core of delivery and in others overseeing / checking the quality of our work.
3. Building the pipeline – demand has never been higher for our support. Clients want to know what others are doing or how they compare.
