Cyber security is a critical business issue.

We bring together cyber, technology, transformation and industry expertise to help clients understand their most important risks, define the right response and deliver sustainable change. You’ll join a market-leading UK Cyber practice of more than 450 people, within Deloitte’s broader Technology & Transformation business.

Connect to your opportunity

As a Manager or Senior Manager in Cyber Strategy & Transformation, you will help clients solve complex cyber problems while taking responsibility for high-quality delivery, trusted client relationships and the development of our people and business. The scale of your leadership and commercial responsibility will reflect your experience and grade.

At Senior Manager level, you will also take a visible role in the market and in the growth of our practice. You will lead significant client relationships and engagements, shape propositions and go-to-market activity, create opportunities across Deloitte’s wider network, and help set the direction of our Cyber Strategy & Transformation business.

• Lead client engagements or significant workstreams from problem definition through to recommendation and delivery, bringing structure to complex and ambiguous challenges.
• Build credibility with senior stakeholders, including CISOs, CIOs, risk leaders and business executives, translating technical and risk issues into clear business implications, choices and actions.
• Draw on your experience in one or more of our core areas, working with colleagues across cyber strategy and risk, cyber transformation and delivery, and cyber governance and operating models to develop practical, evidence-based solutions.
• Lead multidisciplinary teams, setting direction, maintaining quality, managing delivery risk and creating an environment in which people can perform and develop.
• Build trusted relationships with senior clients, identify and shape opportunities, and contribute to compelling proposals, pursuits and commercial conversations. At Senior Manager level, you will increasingly be expected to originate opportunities, lead significant pursuits and commercial discussions.
• Help shape and grow our Cyber Strategy & Transformation business by developing propositions, building market profile, coaching colleagues and bringing together expertise from across Deloitte.
• Use technology, data and AI thoughtfully to improve how we work and the outcomes we deliver for clients.

You will have the opportunity to work on some of the most complex and strategically important cyber agendas in the market, advise senior decision-makers, lead multidisciplinary teams and build a distinctive profile in an area of strategic importance to our clients. We will support you to deepen your expertise, broaden your industry experience and develop your leadership within Deloitte.

• Enterprise perspective: An appreciation of how cyber capabilities interact across an enterprise, with the judgement to involve specialist colleagues where deeper technical expertise is required.

Leadership and consulting skills

• Industry insight: Understand how sector, business model and regulatory context shape cyber priorities, drawing on experience of working in or with complex organisations.
• Team leadership: Lead diverse teams, set clear direction, coach others and take accountability for the quality of their work.
• Business development: Identify client needs, shape opportunities and contribute to compelling proposals, pitches and commercial conversations.
• Client stakeholder management: Build strong relationships, influence effectively and constructively challenge and advise senior stakeholders.
• Delivery: Manage engagements or workstreams to agreed outcomes, timelines and quality, while actively managing risks, dependencies and competing priorities.

The modern world is more complex than ever before, and we are navigating an ever-changing landscape. We help clients to operate with resilience and grow with confidence to secure success and minimise risk. 

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm.

This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
