Help build a world-class Expert Network at the forefront of cybersecurity.
We’re partnering with a global cybersecurity advisory firm on a mission to help leading organisations become more resilient in the face of ever-evolving digital threats. Operating at the intersection of strategic consulting and long-term investment, this business tackles some of the most complex challenges in the cyber domain — and their model is evolving.
A key part of that evolution is the launch of a flexible Expert Network: a curated group of independent cybersecurity specialists with deep technical and strategic expertise. This model allows the business to scale impact with precision, agility, and depth.
They’re hiring a Talent Acquisition Lead to design, build, and run this network from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a new function, working closely with senior leadership to create a scalable, strategic talent capability from scratch.
This is not your typical recruitment role. It’s an opportunity to build a business within a business — blending sourcing, stakeholder management, systems design, and a keen understanding of advisory work.
What you’ll do
-
Develop and deliver the end-to-end strategy for building a high-calibre bench of cybersecurity experts
-
Identify and engage independent consultants with specialist “spikes” (e.g. threat intelligence, OT/ICS, cloud security)
-
Partner with senior stakeholders to align talent with client project needs
-
Design the infrastructure: talent pools, on-boarding, processes, and reporting
-
Act as an ambassador across the cybersecurity ecosystem — building trust and relationships
What you’ll bring
-
Proven experience hiring senior-level talent in consulting, advisory, or project-based environments
-
Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable with ambiguity and excited to build from zero
-
Ability to engage credibly with senior consultants and internal leaders
-
Familiarity with (or an appetite to learn about) the cybersecurity landscape
-
A natural connector who thrives on building relationships and spotting potential
