Job description

As a Cybersecurity Strategy Consultant, you will play a pivotal role advising our clients on how to align their security posture with business goals, regulatory requirements, and the evolving threat landscape. You will lead strategic cybersecurity engagements, shape frameworks and roadmaps, and partner closely with senior leaders (C-suite, IT leadership, operations, OT, risk) to translate strategy into action. We’re specifically looking for a strategy consultant who also brings hands-on technical experience and can bridge the gap between strategy and execution.

What you’ll do

  • Assess client cybersecurity maturity (IT, OT, Cloud), identify gaps, recommend improvements, and define prioritized initiatives.
  • Design and refine governance, risk & compliance (GRC) frameworks suited to client risk appetite and regulatory context.
  • Collaborate with technical teams to ensure strategy is actionable: helping translate strategic objectives into measurable control implementations.
  • Provide thought leadership and subject-matter expertise: staying current with cyber-threat trends, regulatory developments (e.g. GDPR, NIS2, etc.), and emerging best practices.
  • Support the implementation and monitoring of cybersecurity metrics, KPIs, and metrics dashboards, to enable transparent reporting at executive, managerial, and operational levels.
  • Mentor and guide more junior consultants in strategic thinking, stakeholder engagement, and problem solving.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems or related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity strategy, risk management, security governance, or related consulting roles.
  • Experience across IT, OT (Operational Technology), and Cloud environments. Deep understanding of cybersecurity frameworks, regulatory compliance, threat landscape, incident response, and cyber resilience.
  • Demonstrated technical, hands-on experience (e.g. incident response, forensics, ethical hacking, or other technical cybersecurity analysis).
  • Strong consultancy skills and excellent communication skills (written & verbal) in English and Dutch.
  • Ability to work in ambiguous environments, define priorities, and deliver strategic clarity.

Benefits & conditions

At Secamo, we commit to offer you:

  • The opportunity to work with leading organizations across industries, helping them build resilient cybersecurity posture.
  • A collaborative, expertise-led work environment with ongoing professional development and training.
  • Thought leadership: exposure to emerging risks, technologies, threats and regulatory shifts.
  • Competitive compensation & benefits package aligned to seniority and experience.
  • Flexible working arrangements (remote/hybrid/on-site), depending on project needs.
