Company

hirify.global combines strategy, technology, innovation, and consulting capabilities to help clients adapt, transform, and build resilience. Its Digital Trust & Cyber Security team works with critical-infrastructure clients in collaboration with Jacobs.

What you will do

• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders in US Utilities and/or Transport organisations and bring sector insight to cyber security, resilience, critical infrastructure, and emerging technology risk discussions.
• Identify, qualify, shape, propose, and deliver consulting opportunities while contributing to the growth of the US Digital Trust & Cyber Security business and the PA–Jacobs collaboration.
• Help clients assess their exposure to post-quantum cryptography, including critical systems, services, supply chains, and trust dependencies.
• Lead PQC-readiness work such as executive briefings, readiness assessments, prioritisation, roadmaps, and follow-on activity.
• Apply security-architecture thinking to cryptographic assets, trust relationships, technology and supplier dependencies, and migration sequencing.
• Provide senior oversight, lead multidisciplinary consulting teams, develop colleagues, and build a sustainable US critical-infrastructure cyber security and PQC capability.

Requirements

• Significant professional experience in Energy, Utilities, or Transport, gained in consulting, industry, or both, with familiarity with relevant frameworks including MITRE ATT&CK TTPs, NIST CSF, and CIS Controls.
• Strong grounding in cyber security, technology risk, operational resilience, security architecture, or a closely related field.
• Relevant cyber security, architecture, resilience, or risk qualifications; experience in Industrial Control Systems, OT/ICS cybersecurity, Cyber Threat Intelligence, CISA, or GIAC is relevant.
• Experience engaging senior client or business stakeholders and turning complex issues into clear decisions and practical action.
• Experience originating, shaping, selling, or expanding consulting or professional-services work.
• A record of leading significant client engagements, workstreams, or multidisciplinary teams and developing others.
• Ability to work across business, operational, and technical audiences and collaborate across organisational boundaries.
• Experience with complex technology estates, third-party dependencies, legacy environments, or operational technology.
• Commercial judgement to qualify opportunities, shape proportionate responses, and maintain a clear route from client need to delivery.
• Direct cryptography or specialist delivery experience is valuable but is not an absolute requirement; strong sector, client, and security-architecture experience may be developed further with existing specialists.

Nice to have

• Experience in a senior security, resilience, technology, or critical-infrastructure role.
• Consulting experience combined with time in industry.
