About us:

We’re growing fast, with big plans ahead - creating plenty of opportunity to grow with us. Our agile, close-knit team works together to enable our clients and protect their digital worlds.

At Longwall, we help high-profile organisations stay ahead of cyber threats using smart strategies and the latest tech. But it’s not just about the tools, it’s about the people. We back each other, we move fast, and we have fun doing it.

If you're looking for meaningful work, a team that’s got your back, and a place where your ideas really matter, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role:

Working within our Security Consulting Practice, you’ll collaborate with our SOC to receive real-world insights into client environments – such as indicators of poor practice, recurring issues and emerging threats.
• Your role is to take these insights and translate them into actionable outcomes through a Security Improvement Roadmap, hosted and reviewing regularly with each client. From security governance and risk management to architecture reviews and incident readiness, you will be responsible for helping our clients become more resilient, more secure and gain control of their risk.
