Security Consultant – Financial Services

London / Hybrid (1 day a week on site)

6-Month Contract

We're working with a leading financial services organisation to find a Security Consultant who can act as a trusted advisor across their engineering, product, and architecture teams, embedding secure‑by‑design principles at pace, without slowing delivery down.

This isn't a box‑ticking compliance role. The client needs someone technically credible enough to engage at the design level with engineers, but senior enough to influence architects and product owners.

If you've spent your career purely in advisory or purely in delivery, this probably isn't the right fit. If you sit somewhere in between – pragmatic, outcome-focused and comfortable holding your own in a room full of architects one minute and a sprint team the next then this should be a great fit.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading threat modelling (STRIDE) and secure design reviews for key solutions across the organisation
  • Acting as the go‑to security advisor for Product, Engineering, and Architecture – embedded in delivery, not observing from a distance
  • Applying CIS‑aligned security NFRs and patterns across cloud, identity and application security
  • Supporting teams to implement security within the SDLC without creating friction
  • Navigating Design Authority and CAB governance to deliver consistent, auditable assurance outcomes
  • Identifying security technical debt, establishing clear ownership, and driving remediation with realistic timelines
  • Building stakeholder relationships and influencing through clear, practical guidance – not lengthy reports

What We're Looking For

  • Hands‑on threat modelling experience – STRIDE specifically
  • Strong Azure security knowledge across IAM, cloud, and application/API security
  • Experience embedding security within Agile delivery teams and the SDLC
  • A background in financial services or another regulated environment
  • Comfort working within Design Authority and CAB governance structures
