Ideal Candidate

• Currently operating at Partner level for a minimum of 5 years within a leading global consultancy, Big Four firm or specialist technology and cybersecurity advisory business.
• Proven track record of business development, revenue generation and building a sustainable client pipeline.
• Established relationships with CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, CEOs, CROs and board members across the Middle East.
• Experience advising major organisations across sectors such as Financial Services, Government, Energy, Utilities, Telecommunications, Healthcare and Industrials.

The Opportunity

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to develop new client relationships, build specialist capabilities, lead multidisciplinary teams and contribute to the growth of the Digital and Cybersecurity consulting business across the Middle East.
