Additional Information

We're building a new Cloud Security Practice that delivers outcome-driven security engagements across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Google Cloud, AWS, and partner CNAPP platforms. We're hiring a Lead Cloud Security Consultant - Microsoft Focus as a hands-on cyber security expert. You'll help design how we deliver engagements, execute them in the consoles, and build the reusable assets the practice will scale on. This is a cyber-first role with Microsoft as the primary stack. Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, Defender for Cloud, and Entra ID are the core of the work, but you should be comfortable operating in broader cloud security contexts - multi-cloud posture, CNAPP findings, exposure reduction - when engagements call for it. You don't need to be a pure infrastructure engineer, but you should understand cloud environments well enough to identify security gaps, implement controls, and help customers improve their posture.
