The Team
KPMG has been acknowledged by Forrester as a leader in the provision of cyber security consultancy. We are investing to build our cyber consulting team to meet a growing demand and provide a comprehensive range of services to many of the UK's most innovative, resilient and rapidly growing, privately backed companies.

We help our clients protect, detect and respond to high end cyber threats; helping them understand the cyber threat landscape, as it relates to their business and build out the specialist capabilities they need to counter cyber attacks, financial crime and other threats.

We believe that cyber security is about helping our clients to harness business opportunities safely and securely. For us, cyber security isn't just a technical issue, it is one which engages the whole business and focusses on a holistic approach to understanding and mitigating the risks.
Our team works closely with KPMG's broader advisory practice to link and integrate cyber security to risk management, operational resilience and IT transformation.

The Role:
You will be a Manager, with a technical cyber background, within the team helping both grow our business and deliver high quality advice to clients, who are often privately backed businesses, ranging in size.
You should expect to be involved in a wide range of challenging engagements helping our clients to understand how to harness digital opportunities in a safe and secure manner.

As a Cyber Security Manager you will be advising clients on managing security risks with a particular focus on supporting our clients' rapidly evolving digital strategies, where your knowledge of security technologies, security operations, identity and access management and compliance frameworks will enable more resilient businesses, capable of realising opportunities in new, technology enabled, ways of working.

Many of our clients are looking at a future that will involve greater regulatory scrutiny, but are also continually battling to match a rapidly changing cyber threat landscape while harnessing the opportunities offered by digital services.

As a Manager in our team, we expect you to understand the world of our clients, the complexities of modern technologies, and to be able to translate complex cyber security issues into straightforward, credible, jargon free, business advice to our clients; while making sure we can deliver the support they require.

If you are able to help our clients seize the opportunity offered by leveraging greater technology, and do so in a secure way, then you are the type of person we are looking for.

• Managing and delivering small-/medium-sized engagements

• Developing an understanding of KPMG's broader offerings to enable identification of business opportunities
