Job title: Principal Consultant - AI Security & Governance (SME) Location: London/Hybrid Salary: Competitive market rate If you know what it takes to navigate AI security, risk and governance within complex organisations, this is an opportunity to take that experience somewhere you can actually shape the answer. Businesses are investing heavily in AI, but many are stuck between proving it works and proving it's safe to deploy. Boards want confidence. Engineers need practical guardrails. We're looking for a Principal Consultant - AI Security & Governance to bridge that gap. You'll be joining a growing, AI-native technology consultancy, with the opportunity to build the security, governance and assurance capability around its existing proposition. You'll help organisations move from AI discovery and POC through to governed, secure production. The Role: You'll sit at the point where AI, security, governance and engineering meet, helping clients turn AI ambition into something they can confidently build, deploy and operate. At board and risk committee level, you'll help senior stakeholders understand AI risk, define risk appetite and make informed decisions about whether an initiative is ready to progress. Alongside engineers, you'll get into the technical detail - threat-modelling AI and agentic architectures, assessing guardrails, data access, identity and failure modes. From POC to production, you'll bring the two sides together - making AI safe enough for the business without making it impossible for engineers to build. What You'll Be Doing: Advise boards, audit and risk committees on AI risk and governance. Design and implement practical AI governance frameworks, policies and controls. Support clients with EU AI Act, UK GDPR, DPIA, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 requirements. Threat-model GenAI and agentic AI systems. Assess risks including prompt injection, data leakage, excessive agency and tool-use escalation. Review AI architectures, guardrails, evaluations and security controls. Help establish governance and assurance from POC through to production. Address data access, permissions, IAM, DLP and non-human identity risks. Develop AI incident response and assurance approaches. Assess AI models, vendors and third-party risks. Lead client workshops and contribute to proposals and pre-sales. Develop reusable AI governance and security frameworks, tools and client materials. Help develop the consultancy's point of view on AI Security and Governance. What We're Looking For Must have: Experience across security, risk, data, GRC or a related field. A strong consulting background with significant client-facing experience. Experience designing governance frameworks, risk assessments, policies and controls. Practical understanding of how AI systems are built and secured. Good understanding of LLMs and agentic AI, including RAG, tool use and orchestration. Knowledge of AI security risks including prompt injection, data leakage and excessive agency. Strong understanding of relevant AI regulation and frameworks, particularly EU AI Act, UK GDPR/ICO, DPIAs, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001. Experience working with regulated organisations. The ability to communicate equally well with senior executives and technical teams. Nice to have: AWS, Azure or GCP security experience. IAM and cloud security experience. Python or Scripting skills. Model risk management or second-line risk experience. Experience with AI governance/data security platforms such as OneTrust, Purview, Varonis, BigID or Credo AI. Experience with AI security and evaluation tooling. Financial services experience. UK SC clearance eligibility. Relevant professional certifications. Why This Role? The business already has strong AI engineering capability and client demand. The opportunity now is to build the security, governance and assurance layer around it. You'll get the breadth that can be difficult to find in larger consultancies: board-level advisory, technical AI security, governance, delivery and pre-sales all sitting within one Principal role. If you're an experienced consultant looking for a role where your expertise can directly shape a growing AI practice, we'd be interested in hearing from you. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.

Role: Solution Architect Location: Remote Working Arrangement: Occasional travel to national and international client sites Salary: £65- 120k (Mid, Senior, Principal levels available) SC clearance is essential. You've built solutions that solve complex technical problems. Now you're looking for the opportunity to influence something much bigger. You've probably spent years working across defence, government, or other highly secure environments, helping customers solve difficult challenges through technology. You're comfortable leading architecture discussions, working with senior stakeholders, and translating ambitious operational goals into solutions that can actually be delivered. More importantly, you're interested in where defence technology is heading next. If that's you, this could be a fantastic opportunity. I'm working with a defence technology organisation that's investing heavily in the future of defence capability through experimentation, innovation, and emerging technologies. They're looking for Mid, Senior and Principal level Solution Architects to lead some of their most exciting programmes, helping shape how the next generation of defence capability is designed, tested, demonstrated, and ultimately delivered into operational use. This is a strategic, hands-on role where you'll sit at the intersection of architecture, systems engineering, customer engagement, and innovation. Rather than focusing on a single programme, you'll work across a portfolio of defence experimentation and demonstration activities, helping customers understand what's possible, designing complex technical solutions, and ensuring innovative concepts can successfully transition into operational capability. Artificial Intelligence is a major part of that journey. You'll be working with programmes exploring AI, machine learning, autonomous systems, human-machine teaming, digital engineering, cloud technologies, cyber capabilities, advanced communications, and multi-domain integration. They're looking for someone who can understand both the technology and the operational challenges, helping customers adopt emerging capabilities in ways that deliver real value rather than simply following the latest trends. This is also a highly customer-facing role. You'll build relationships with senior stakeholders across the MOD, Strategic Command, DE&S, Dstl, NATO organisations, allied nations, and industry partners, becoming a trusted technical advisor throughout the lifecycle of major defence programmes. Alongside leading technical direction, you'll help shape future opportunities, contribute to bids and business development activities, mentor Solution Architects across the organisation, and provide technical leadership that influences both customers and internal engineering teams. From a technical perspective, they're looking for experience across areas such as: Solution and systems architecture Defence capability development and experimentation Enterprise integration and systems engineering AI and emerging technologies Cloud platforms and modern digital engineering Multi-domain integration and command-and-control environments Cyber security and Secure by Design principles Architecture governance and technical leadership Experience working with MOD, NATO, multinational defence programmes, or complex government environments will be particularly valuable, especially if you've been involved in experimentation activities, operational assessments, capability demonstrations, or technology transition programmes. This role would suit someone who enjoys thinking strategically while staying close enough to technology to influence meaningful technical decisions. You'll be given the opportunity to shape architecture strategy, lead technical teams, develop customer relationships, and play a significant part in how future defence capabilities are delivered. If you're looking for a role where you can combine technical leadership, innovation, customer engagement, and architecture, while working with some of the most exciting technologies currently shaping defence, this is definitely one worth exploring. Apply now or get in touch to find out more. We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.
