About the Role We are seeking an experienced, authoritative Cyber Security Subject Matter Expert (SME) to drive the technical readiness and ongoing success of our consulting workforce. This is a dual-focus internal role combining technical instruction and escalation support.

You will be responsible for designing and delivering intensive training programs that transform technical professionals into market-ready Cyber Security consultants. Beyond training, you will act as a technical advisor to help consultants successfully clear client project interviews and serve as the dedicated Tier-3 support lifeline when deployed consultants encounter complex technical roadblocks on-site. Your ultimate goal is to bridge the skills gap and eliminate project failures across our client accounts. Key Responsibilities Curriculum Design & Training Delivery: Build and deliver comprehensive, hands-on training programs covering modern enterprise security frameworks, cloud security (AWS/Azure/GCP), SIEM tools, and vulnerability management. Pre-Placement Support: Work closely with consultants preparing for client project interviews, conducting technical mock interviews, and coaching them on project-specific architectures to ensure placement success. On-Project Technical Support: Act as the dedicated internal escalation point for deployed consultants, rapidly diagnosing and resolving high-stakes security blockers, incident anomalies, or deployment issues. Skill Assessments: Establish objective technical benchmarks and evaluation matrices to assess consultant readiness before they are approved for client deployment. Content Modernization: Monitor shifts in the global cyber threat landscape and industry regulations to continuously update training environments and toolsets. Requirements Experience: 8+ years of hands-on experience in Cyber Security (e.g., Security Architecture, SOC Engineering, Penetration Testing, or Incident Response). Certifications: Must hold advanced, industry-recognized cyber security credentials, specifically a CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional). Additional certifications such as CISM, CEH, CompTIA Security+ / CASP+, or cloud-specific security credentials (e.g., AWS Certified Security, Azure Security Engineer) are highly preferred. Instructional Capabilities: Proven track record of training, mentoring, or upskilling technical personnel (e.g., as a team lead, technical instructor, or engineering mentor). Deep Technical Stack Expertise: Mastery of firewalls, network topology, IAM, encryption standards, and enterprise security operations tools (e.g., Splunk, Wireshark, CrowdStrike, Nessus). Cloud Security Proficiency: Strong technical knowledge of securing public cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform). Problem-Solving under Pressure: Exceptional troubleshooting skills with the ability to step into unfamiliar client infrastructures remotely and unblock a consultant efficiently. Communication: Ability to break down complex architectural vulnerabilities into digestible, teachable concepts for junior-to-mid level consultants.
