Senior Manager, Cyber & AI Advisory

Senior Manager, Cyber & AI Advisory

UK (hybrid) · Growing, well-backed cyber-resilience advisory

We're partnered with a fast-growing, well-backed cyber-resilience advisory that has moved decisively into delivering AI security and governance to boards and CISOs, not slideware, but programmes that actually get built. They need a Senior Manager who can lead that delivery: someone with genuine cyber programme delivery depth who's moving deliberately into AI risk and governance.

What makes this different:

• Practitioner-led, no Big 4 pyramid. Senior, hands-on advisory — you deliver and lead, you don't just resource-manage a stack of juniors.
• Board-to-boiler-room work. You'll operate with the seniority the problem deserves, in front of the people who own the risk.
• A firm defining the category. AI-cyber convergence is being figured out right now; this is a seat at the table where it's decided, not a franchise to defend.

What you'll do:

• Lead the delivery of AI security and governance engagements — operationalising frameworks (ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act readiness) into programmes clients can actually run.
• Bridge advisory design and hands-on execution across multi-workstream cyber transformation.
• Grow accounts and mentor a delivery team as the practice scales.

Who you are:

• Strong cyber programme / transformation delivery track record — you've run real engagements, not just advised on them.
• Credible and deliberately moving into AI governance, AI risk or AI security — early enough to help shape how it's done.
• Consultancy pedigree (Big 4, top-tier or serious boutique) and comfortable client-facing at senior level.
• A builder, not a maintainer.

The offer: competitive base in the £95,000–£130,000 range, plus bonus and the genuinely rare chance to make AI the core of your work rather than a side project.
