Job summary:


At GCHQ, we unlock the complex world of data and communications to keep the UK and its citizens safe, both in the real world and online.

Working closely with our British Intelligence partners in MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from threats including serious organised crime, terrorism, and cyber-attacks.

A role in GCHQ means you'll have varied and fascinating work in a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), part of GCHQ, is the UK Government's lead authority on cyber security.

The organisation is at the heart of the Government's cyber security strategy and has the aim of making the UK the safest place to live and work online.


NCSC is offering you an exciting opportunity as a Senior Cyber Consultant within the Private Sector Critical National Infrastructure (PS CNI) team.

PS CNI builds resilience in the country's most critical services.

They work across various CNI sectors including Energy, Civil Nuclear, Transport, Communications, Finance, Chemicals, Space, Food and Water, as well as connected places and managed service providers.

Naturally, this is a key priority for the Government, particularly considering the targeting of our infrastructure by our adversaries.


We are an externally focussed department within NCSC's National Resilience and Future Tech Directorate, working to improve cyber security and resilience of UK CNI.

Not only do we work directly with critical private sector organisations, providing authoritative advice/guidance and bespoke hands-on support, we also work across Government to influence strategy, policy and regulatory regimes.

CNI is a key governmental priority, particularly considering the current importance of resilience and the targeting of our infrastructure by adversaries.


Job description:


As a Senior Cyber Consultant, you'll be working with relevant Government Departments and industry partners in our CNI sectors to develop its security and resilience.

You'll lead on our more complex requirements and senior stakeholder relationships.

You'll have a passion to improve the cyber security and resilience of our most critical sectors.

You'll develop key relationships with sector stakeholders and leverage these to build understanding of key services, systems and technologies with the sector and the threats they face.

With your team, you'll work to utilise expertise within the NCSC to support improvements to threat awareness, cyber security practice and risk management in the sector.


To deliver this, you'll provide input and advice in various forms to suit the needs of the sector: including promoting the adoption of existing guidance and best practice, providing consultancy to stakeholders and engaging with industry groups.


Person specification:


You'll be a good communicator and be able to build rapport and influence senior sector stakeholders, including building new relationships, chairing meetings and providing leadership for delivery.


You'll be a comfortable managing competing priorities of different senior stakeholders and uncertainty regarding requirements and deliverables; using your curiosity and awareness of the bigger picture to find creative solutions to complex problems.


Cybersecurity and/or information assurance, consultancy or policy experience and knowledge is desirable but do not be put off if you haven't, as we're looking for core skills, and development for the future.

Professional development is supported, so you'll receive ongoing training and mentoring.

You'll support GCHQ's values of integrity, ingenuity, impact, and teamwork.

Inclusion is at the heart of our organisation.

You'll actively encourage a supportive and inclusive working environment, celebrating differences and contributing to a culture where everyone can thrive.

We embrace hybrid working in PS CNI, providing the opportunity to work from home or the office.

You'll need to work from the office at least fortnightly, and be able to travel for in person meetings, both in London and at sites across the UK.

You'll need to be flexible to respond to the needs of the sector and PS CNI, ensuring successful delivery to develop PS CNI security and resilience.

This is a full-time role, but we are open to flexible working patterns.

**You'll need a valid Developed Vetting (DV) clearance to apply.*
