Recruitment Delivery Partner @ InfoSec People Ltd
We’re working with a major UK retailer that’s continuing to invest heavily in cyber security advisory capability across its digital and platform estate.
This is a consultative role focused on guiding, influencing and enabling teams to design and operate secure SaaS and PaaS platforms at scale.
Rather than hands‑on operational delivery, you’ll act as a trusted security advisor, partnering with engineering, platform and product teams to reduce risk, improve configuration hygiene and embed secure‑by‑design practices.
What you’ll be doing
Act as a Cyber Security Consultant to platform and engineering teams across SaaS/PaaS services (Microsoft, Google, Atlassian, MongoDB Atlas)
Lead security reviews and advisory assessments focused on configuration, access, identity and platform risk
Provide clear, pragmatic guidance on IAM, least privilege, Zero Trust and secure platform patterns
Advise on API and database security design, controls and threat mitigation
Support teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines and IaC workflows, advising on guardrails rather than owning build
Translate security risk into practical recommendations that delivery teams can implement quickly
Produce guidance, standards and documentation, and run workshops and knowledge‑sharing sessions
Act as a bridge between security, engineering, vendors and third parties
What we’re looking for
Experience in a cyber security advisory, consulting or internal consulting‑style role
Strong grounding in Identity & Access Management (SSO, JWT, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC/ABAC, least privilege)
Solid understanding of API security and database security fundamentals
Working knowledge of Terraform, CI/CD and automation concepts (hands‑on coding not required)
Ability to assess risk, challenge designs constructively and influence without authority
Comfortable engaging senior engineers, architects and product stakeholders
A pragmatic mindset — focused on enabling delivery, not blocking it
