Requirements

Our AI Security specialists understand how to help enterprise clients develop and put into action an AI resilience strategy that enables them to build for the future without compromising data integrity or regulatory compliance.

You will act as a trusted advisor and technical architect, helping clients safely design and implement AI systems while identifying and mitigating emerging threats. Given the rapid evolution of this field, we prioritise capability, architectural understanding, and growth potential over years of static experience.

Essential skills & capabilities

  • AI Architecture & Systems Understanding: Demonstrable understanding of how AI/ML systems, including Large Language Models (LLMs), generative AI, and predictive models are architected, fine-tuned, and deployed into enterprise infrastructure.
  • Secure AI Build & Lifecycle: Knowledge of how to integrate security controls into the AI build process (DevSecOps for AI/MLSecOps), including data pipeline security, model validation, and secure API integration.
  • Data Protection & Egress Control: Deep awareness of data privacy challenges unique to AI, including data loss prevention (DLP), data leakage through model outputs, training data poisoning, and preventing unauthorised data egress in regulated environments.
  • Threat Landscape Awareness: Familiarity with AI-specific risk frameworks (e.g., OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, NIST AI Risk Management Framework) and emerging threat vectors such as prompt injection, model inversion, and inference attacks.
  • Regulated Environment Navigation: Ability to translate security and compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, EU AI Act, HIPAA, SEC/FINRA guidelines) into practical technical safeguards for high-compliance sectors.
  • Client Advisory & Delivery: Proven capability in leading technical discussions, structuring client challenges, and communicating complex AI security risks to senior stakeholders (CISOs, Enterprise Architects, and Heads of AI).
  • Adaptability & Potential: A continuous-learning mindset with the agility to evaluate and secure emerging AI technologies as fast as they enter the market.
  • Relevant Certifications (Preferred): Professional security or cloud certifications (e.g., CISSP, CCSP, AWS/Azure/GCP Security Specialties) alongside specialised AI/ML security coursework or hands-on project experience.

Benefits & conditions

  • 25 days annual leave (plus a bonus half day on Christmas Eve) with the opportunity to buy 5 additional days
  • Generous company pension scheme
  • Opportunity to get involved with community and charity-based initiatives
  • Annual performance-based bonus
  • Tax efficient benefits (cycle to work, give as you earn)
