Hybrid Working | UK Security Clearable Required
Our client is one of the UK’s leading innovation and technology consultancies, operating at the intersection of strategy, digital transformation, engineering, AI, and cyber security. With a strong reputation across government, defence, financial services, utilities, manufacturing, and consumer sectors, they deliver some of the most complex and high-impact transformation programmes in the market.
They are hiring Google Security Specialists to help architect and secure large-scale GCP environments for clients operating in highly regulated and mission-critical settings.
Their Google Cloud and Security capability is seeing significant growth, particularly across secure cloud transformation, modern data platforms, and AI-enabled environments. This is an opportunity to join a highly respected consulting business that combines deep technical expertise with genuine influence at enterprise and government level.
What you’ll be doing:
• Designing secure end-to-end GCP architectures aligned to business and security requirements
• Delivering cloud security solutions across IAM, infrastructure protection, network segregation, monitoring, and cloud-native tooling
• Advising clients on security best practices, risk reduction, and long-term cloud security strategy
• Working closely with engineering, architecture, data, and AI teams across large transformation programmes
• Supporting secure scaling of cloud and AI environments, including modern data platforms
• Contributing to client workshops, whiteboarding sessions, and technical problem-solving discussions
What they’re looking for:
• Strong experience designing and implementing security solutions within GCP environments
• Consulting or client-facing experience with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Knowledge of cloud IAM, infrastructure security, networking, monitoring, and secure architecture principles
• Experience working on enterprise-scale cloud, integration, or transformation programmes
• Understanding of secure data platforms and modern security tooling
• Exposure to Vertex AI, Gemini, or broader AI security concepts is beneficial
• Certifications such as Google Professional Security Engineer, CISSP, CISM, TOGAF, or SABSA are useful but not essential
Why this role stands out:
• Major investment into Google Cloud, Data & AI, and Security capability
• Opportunity to work across high-profile private and public sector programmes
• Strong technical career path without needing to move into sales leadership
• Access to certifications, training, mentoring, and complex greenfield work
• Growing defence and national security projects creating long-term demand
Additional details:
• Hybrid working with a minimum of 2 days onsite/client-facing per week
• Candidates must be eligible for UK security clearance
• Applicants should have lived in the UK continuously for at least 5 years with no extended periods outside the UK to qualify for SC clearance
If you’re working within GCP security and want access to enterprise-scale transformation work, high-calibre consulting teams, and genuinely complex security challenges, this is a strong opportunity to step into a market-leading environment.
