About the job you’re considering

Organisations are facing a sustained increase in cyber risk, regulatory pressure and operational complexity as they modernise their technology landscapes. Cybersecurity is no longer a standalone technical function; it is central to business resilience, digital transformation and customer trust. Senior leaders need pragmatic, commercially grounded advice to embed security into their transformation agendas and make confident, risk‑informed decisions. Within Capgemini’s Cloud Infrastructure Services (CIS) Projects & Consulting, we work with clients across financial services, public and private sectors to shape cybersecurity strategies, design secure transformation pathways and support the mobilisation of complex cyber‑enabled change. Our work spans early‑stage maturity assessments and cyber strategy through to the integration of security into large‑scale cloud, infrastructure and business transformation programmes. 
We are seeking Manager and Senior Manager‑level cybersecurity consultants who combine strong advisory capability with deep cyber domain expertise and a track record across consulting, pre‑sales and delivery. You will play a key role in leading cyber‑focused engagements, shaping client propositions, supporting go‑to‑market activity and helping clients translate cyber ambition into tangible outcomes. This role suits individuals who are credible with senior stakeholders, commercially aware and comfortable operating across advisory, business development and delivery contexts, with cybersecurity as their core specialism.

This role requires someone who can:

• Lead high‑impact cybersecurity consulting engagements, including maturity assessments, risk reviews, strategy and roadmaps
• Be part of the team that advises senior stakeholders (e.g. CISO, CTO) on cyber risk, resilience and secure transformation priorities
• Integrate cybersecurity into wider cloud, infrastructure and digital transformation programmes
• Translate complex cyber and risk concepts into clear, actionable recommendations for business leaders
• Identify opportunities to extend advisory work into broader transformation, delivery and managed services engagements
• Support and shape go‑to‑market propositions in cybersecurity and adjacent domains
• Contribute to client proposals, bids and credentials, bringing both domain credibility and commercial awareness
• Engage proactively with clients to originate and develop opportunities
• Produce high‑quality, client‑ready outputs and thought leadership aligned to market trends and Capgemini priorities
• Collaborate effectively with delivery teams, architects and SMEs across Capgemini

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your role

As a Manager or Senior Manager in the CIS Projects & Consulting Advisory team, you will:

• Lead and deliver cybersecurity advisory engagements, from problem definition through to recommendations and mobilisation
• Act as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders, combining consulting judgement with deep cyber expertise
• Shape engagement scope, approach and deliverables, ensuring outcomes are practical, commercially sound and aligned to risk priorities
• Support the integration of cybersecurity into broader technology transformation programmes (e.g. cloud, workplace, infrastructure modernisation)
• Play an active role in business development, including proposition development, client conversations, bids and pipeline growth
• Contribute to thought leadership, market insights and internal capability development in cybersecurity
• Mentor and support junior consultants, helping build a high‑performing cyber advisory capability

The scope of responsibility will vary by grade, with Senior Managers taking greater accountability for client relationships, engagement leadership and go‑to‑market contribution

Your skills and experience

You will bring strong consulting foundations alongside credible cybersecurity expertise and commercial experience.

Core experience:

Experience in a consulting or advisory role at Manager or Senior Manager level within one of the leading consultancies (e.g. Big 4, boutique cybersecurity consultancies, global SIs)

• Cyber risk management, governance and compliance (e.g. ISO 27001, NIST, NIS2, GDPR) 
• Security architecture and secure‑by‑design principles in cloud and hybrid environments 
• Identity and access management, security operations or cyber controls engineering
• Cyber resilience, incident response and operational security
• Integration of security into DevOps and cloud transformation
• Understanding of emerging risks and controls associated with AI and agentic systems, including secure AI adoption, model risk, data protection, and the application of AI within cybersecurity (e.g. threat detection, automation and response)

Consulting and commercial skills:

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence at C‑suite and senior leadership level
• Excellent communication and storytelling capability, translating complex cyber topics into clear, compelling narratives
• Commercial awareness and the ability to shape propositions and differentiate Capgemini in competitive situations
