Your role

• Lead, guide, and coordinate cyber security solution designs for SOC, SIEM, and defensive monitoring systems and services for complex bids, ensuring alignment with client requirements, internal standards, and regulatory frameworks.

• Develop and maintain governance and compliance documentation, ensuring adherence to standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, NIS2, and UK regulations.
• Provide technical input for bids, including cost modelling, risk assessments, and solution architecture clarification through workshops and scoping sessions.
• Act as a trusted advisor, sharing best practices and emerging technologies, and maintaining up-to-date knowledge of cyber security trends.
• Coordinate resources and timelines to align solution capacity with sales pipeline and project delivery requirements.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.

• Strong knowledge of cyber security principles and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, NIS2, ISA/IEC 62443).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills for cross-functional collaboration.
• Ability to manage governance, risk, and compliance requirements within solution designs and assess risks effectively.
