YOUR MISSION

As a Lead Business Security Consultant, you advise clients on the most suitable and cost-effective measures for security risks. You bridge the gap between security and the business of the organisation. In doing so, you make the client aware of their governance responsibility and provide insight into the current situation. You present your advice to the board of the organisation and lead to concrete decision-making and implementation of possible improvements. You are that strategic sparring partner to the client.
The projects you work on are diverse and relate to topics such as security management (ISO 27001), risk management, compliance with standards and frameworks (BSI Grundschutz, ISO 27001) or cyber security legislation (NIS2, DORA), and of course Northwave’s total holistic approach to intelligent security operations. Your role can vary from conducting an assessment, managing and contributing to an implementation or an advisory role. Within these projects, we regularly collaborate with experts from other teams within Northwave.
You also ensure that the client acts on the given advice. You play a crucial role in identifying potential consultancy opportunities for Northwave. Always from a ‘consultative selling mindset; where the added value for the client comes first. The clients you work with vary in size from medium-large to large international companies, in various sectors.
In addition to working for our customers, you will also manage a small team of business consultants. You keep an eye on the project pipelines, enhance efficiency, stay in contact with your neighboring business units and report to the DACH management. This also gets you involved in the further development of our services. You think outside the box and find the connection between processes, technology and people, or as we call it - Business, Bytes, Behaviour.
Together with over 275+ security enthusiasts, you help companies to protect themselves against cyber attacks.
