MW Partners is currently seeking a Consultant Cybersecurity to work for our client who is a well-known leading utilities company.
Responsibilities and duties:
- Serves as a trusted cyber security architecture subject matter expert (SME) aligning security solutions to strategic objectives business outcomes and risk posture across enterprise technology domains
- Partners with business IT and cyber stakeholders to elicit and scope end-user requirements; translates needs into clear security architecture guidance control objectives and design recommendations
- Evaluates technical feasibility and architecture tradeoffs for proposed solutions ensuring security requirements are practical scalable and consistent with enterprise standards
- Owns develops and maintains enterprise security reference architectures secure design patterns and guardrails for common capabilities (e.g. identity network security endpoint/workload protections application security data protection logging/monitoring and secure remote access)
- Establishes and governs security architecture principles aligned to recognized security engineering practices (e.g. least privilege defense-in-depth secure-by-design segmentation) and drives adoption through standards architecture review and enablement
- Conducts architecture and design reviews for new initiatives and major changes; documents security decisions assumptions residual risks and compensating controls and recommends actionable remediation paths
- Defines security requirements and control objectives for platforms systems and services; ensures requirements are measurable testable and traceable through implementation and validation (while not owning delivery execution)
- Collaborates with the Cybersecurity Technology team to shape product/technology roadmaps maturity paths and prioritized capability improvements based on threat landscape business direction and architecture gaps
- Fosters strong relationships with senior leaders and stakeholders to understand and map business priorities advising on how to engage security architecture to enable secure timely outcomes
- Develops and maintains security architecture documentation (standards patterns diagrams decision records) and provides technical guidance coaching and mentorship to uplift engineering and cyber team capabilities
Requirements:
- Ten or more years of experience in information technology information security and/or cybersecurity
- US Citizenship Required
- Experience designing security architectures for enterprise-scale environments including identity network segmentation data protection and security monitoring
- Working knowledge of control design and implementation (e.g. IAM MFA encryption logging/monitoring vulnerability management endpoint/workload protections)
- Experience partnering with engineering and infrastructure teams to deliver secure solutions in iterative delivery models; ability to translate security requirements into actionable technical designs
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences and produce clear architecture artifacts (reference architectures standards patterns and risk decision records)
Desired Skills
- Bachelor s or Master s degree in Cybersecurity Computer Science Information Systems or a related field.
- Three or more years of experience in cloud cybersecurity.
- Strong collaboration communication and stakeholder engagement skills. Experience designing and architecting cloud cybersecurity solutions. Experience as a technical leader or mentor.
- Experience architecting security for hybrid environments (on-prem cloud and SaaS) including secure connectivity segmentation and identity boundaries
- Familiarity with secure SDLC/DevSecOps practices and common tooling (code scanning dependency scanning configuration and policy validation and CI/CD security controls)
- Experience with Zero Trust concepts identity governance privileged access management (PAM) and strong authentication/conditional access strategies
- Experience defining logging/telemetry requirements and partnering with SOC/SIEM teams to develop detections response playbooks and measurable security outcomes
- Knowledge of security frameworks and control mapping (e.g. NIST CIS ISO 27001) and experience supporting audits and compliance initiatives
- Strong ability to influence without authority and drive adoption of standards through enablement reusable patterns and practical guardrails that improve developer and operator experience
