Cyber Security Consultant | MSSP | Pre-Sales & Advisory | Syd

An experienced Cyber Security Consultant is needed to join a leading Sydney MSSP. Client-facing 12-month FTC in a team of four, covering pre-sales, advisory and solution delivery across SIEM, EDR and GRC. Ideal for a senior consultant or vendor professional ready to step into a high-impact advisory role.

The Opportunity:

This is a role for someone who can do both sides of the equation: walk into a room, understand what a customer actually needs, scope and sell the solution, and then back it up with solid technical delivery. You’ll be working closely with a Cyber Security Consulting Lead across pre-sales, advisory and solution design, with real input into how the practice grows.

The team has a clear gap on the pre-sales and advisory side, so candidates who can confidently scope, architect and present security solutions to senior stakeholders will stand out immediately. Post-vendor backgrounds are highly regarded here.

What you'll do:

• Drive pre-sales activity including technical qualification, scoping, estimation and solution design for new and existing opportunities
• Provide strategic cyber security advisory to enterprise, corporate and government customers
• Consult across a broad range of security domains including SIEM, GRC, EDR, NGFWs, vulnerability management, DFIR and more
• Develop technical documentation including tender and RFP responses, high-level designs and architecture artefacts
• Build trusted advisor relationships within key customer accounts and act as an escalation point when needed
• Collaborate with the Product & Technology team to shape Our Client’s cyber security roadmap
• Capture and share best-practice knowledge across the technical community

What you bring:

• At least 5 years’ experience across a broad range of technology disciplines (systems, infrastructure, cloud, SaaS)
• Minimum 3 years within a cyber security related discipline
• Demonstrated experience in customer-facing consulting or pre-sales with the presence to engage senior technical and business stakeholders
• Subject matter expertise across at least five of: SIEM & log correlation, EDR/anti-malware, GRC & compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, ISM, PCI-DSS), NGFW/WAF, DFIR, email/web gateways/CASB, patch & vulnerability management, intrusion detection
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce high-quality technical and commercial documentation
• Working knowledge of frameworks including NIST, ISO, ASD ISM and PCI-DSS
• Tertiary qualifications in IT or a related field (or equivalent experience)

Highly regarded:

• Background in vendorland (e.g. Palo Alto, Splunk, Zscaler, Rapid7, CrowdStrike, Microsoft) transitioning into consulting
• Experience working for an MSSP, MSP, System Integrator or multi-client consultancy
• CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent certifications
• Vendor certifications across key platforms
• Experience with risk management and risk assessment methodologies
