This is a great opportunity for an experienced Cyber Security Consultant / Penetration Tester to move into the end client space because roles like this don't come around very often. Equally, if you're a strong Senior Information Security Analyst / Penetration Tester who has the requisite skills but hasn't had the opportunity to take on a Senior Cyber Security Specialist role previously then this could be the perfect environment for you.

Phone interviews are happening later this week and my client are looking to make this hire ASAP.
