Job description
Weâre looking for a Cyber Presales Consultant to join our growing Presales function. This is a predominantly cyber-focused role - if you live and breathe cyber security and love the buzz of translating complex technical solutions into compelling business cases, youâll thrive here.
Youâll be the technical authority in the sales process for cyber engagements - working alongside our Business Development Managers and Account Managers to scope, design and present cyber security solutions to prospects and existing customers. From discovery workshops and proposal development through to customer-facing presentations, youâll own the technical narrative and help close deals.
This isnât a back-office role. Youâll be customer-facing, commercially minded, and central to Focus Groupâs presales centre of excellence in the MSP/MSSP market.
What youâll be doing
Running presales discovery calls and workshops to uncover security gaps, threat exposure, and compliance obligations. Designing technically accurate, commercially sound cyber proposals. Positioning the right solutions - whether thatâs MDR/EDR, SOC, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, email security, identity protection, or compliance frameworks like Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS. Presenting confidently to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Supporting the wider sales team and mentoring less experienced presales colleagues as we scale.
Requirements
Do you have experience in Cybersecurity?, Youâll have demonstrable experience in a cyber security presales, consultancy or technical advisory role - ideally within an MSP or MSSP. Youâll be equally comfortable in a boardroom and on a technical deep-dive call, with the communication skills to match. Familiarity with the Microsoft 365 and Defender suite, security awareness training, and key compliance frameworks is essential. Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+ or CySA+ are a bonus, as is knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Youâll be based in the UK Midlands or South, and comfortable with regular travel to customers and our offices - this role rewards those who build strong relationships in person.
Benefits & conditions
Up to ÂŁ51,500 base salary with an OTE of ÂŁ75,000. A remote-first role with real flexibility. The chance to join a business thatâs genuinely scaling - with the investment, ambition and support to match. And a Presales team thatâs being built to be best-in-class.
