Outsource UK's Cyber Team are looking to hire a number of PCI Consulting Managers & Senior Managers. This Consulting firm is growing at a rapid rate, and now wants to expand their leadership team, working in the Private Sector Cyber Advisory Practice as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Experts.

The role: These roles can be filled at Senior Manager or Manager level, depending on experience. The Cyber Security Senior Manager / Manager provides expert strategy, risk and technical advice, guidance and support on PCI compliance, both in business-as-usual and for live and planned compliance programmes within our clients' business. You will also have the opportunity to work on complex and interesting cyber security projects beyond PCI-DSS.

You will have a broad range of cyber and information security skills, knowledge and experience, underpinned by a deeper SME in PCI DSS. You may have worked across multiple industries, or have developed a deep specialism in a particular sector. Whichever of these describes you, you will be developing a strong track record of credibility as a trusted advisor to senior business stakeholders on PCI DSS compliance and wider cyber security, and you must be experienced and comfortable working with stakeholders up CxO level in FTSE350-scale companies.

Your responsibilities: Client Service - delivering highly credible advisory and assurance consulting services around PCI DSS compliance, and managing larger teams. You will maintain PCI QSA, cyber security and risk quals, and will manage and mentor more junior staff

Business and practice development - Building client relationships and establishing credibility by demonstrating knowledge of various aspects of PCI DSS and cyber security, and identify and support senior members of the team in developing client proposals and solution offerings. You will contribute to financial and operational management, as well as developing other team members, and developing toolkits.

Qualifications & Experience: We are looking for exceptional Senior Managers / Managers who can provide our clients with trusted advice, rooted in a pragmatic understanding of their business situation and objectives, to help them navigate complex, risk-driven decisions on their PCI DSS compliance and Cyber Security.

Our Senior Managers / Managers help clients effect substantial and complex business change, and experience of assuring or enabling change at scale is essential.

We welcome applications from candidates who have spent some time working "in-house" in a relevant organisation, but it is likely that you will have gained at least some of your experience working in a business-oriented consulting environment where you have faced off to clients' senior business leaders, and relationship-based business development experience is essential.

Successful candidates at the Senior Manager level are likely to have developed some experience in relationship-based business development, leading sales proposal development, RFP response and bid work for advisory/consulting type services.

In addition: Strong knowledge of PCI DSS. Knowledge of other PCI and Card Brand specific standards preferred.

Strong technical capability with understanding of Security Architecture, Networks, Servers, Workstations, Applications and Virtualisation and Cloud Technologies.

Good knowledge of risk & regulatory frameworks and standards such as NIST 800, ISO 27001, ISF SOGP etc.

Excellent communication skills - both oral (for interviews/meetings, presentations) and written (for designing and writing engaging reports which communicate findings succinctly and clearly convey the message in a way which is appropriate for the audience, and rooted in the client's needs).
