  • Partner across Datacom's broader cybersecurity capability to help customers move from strategy through to implementation and ongoing security operations.
  • Represent Datacom at executive forums, customer events and industry engagements, contributing to thought leadership and market presence.

What you will bring

  • Significant leadership experience across cybersecurity, technology, risk, consulting or professional services.
  • Proven experience building credibility and influence with executive stakeholders and senior customer leaders.
  • Deep expertise in cybersecurity strategy, governance, risk management, resilience and security transformation.
  • Strong commercial acumen with experience growing customer relationships, consulting engagements or advisory practices.
  • The ability to translate complex cybersecurity and risk issues into practical business outcomes and investment decisions.
  • Experience leading, coaching and developing high-performing consulting or cybersecurity teams.
  • Outstanding communication, facilitation and executive presentation skills.
  • A relevant qualification or equivalent professional experience in cybersecurity, technology, risk or business leadership.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
