Cybersecurity SME

The company is seeking a Cybersecurity SME to support the end-to-end delivery of a large-scale Geospatial Digital Twin programme for a major national infrastructure owner in the Middle East. This multi-year initiative will design, build, and operationalize an Operational Digital Twin platform that integrates geospatial data, real-time IoT/SCADA feeds, asset information, and core enterprise systems to enable data-driven planning, operations, and maintenance. The role will be working closely with the Product Manager and a team of international experts, architects, and engineers.

Responsibilities

• Support the Product Manager and Data & Architecture team in defining security objectives, scope, and requirements for the Operational Digital Twin across all layers (infrastructure, platforms, applications, data, and integrations).
• Assist in performing security and risk assessments for proposed solution architectures, integrations, and deployments, documenting threats, vulnerabilities, and recommended mitigations.
• Help review and contribute to the design of security controls and configurations in collaboration with infrastructure and platform teams.
• Support secure-by-design and privacy-by-design practices by reviewing solution designs, APIs, and data flows.
• Assist in coordinating cybersecurity-related activities with client security teams, including alignment with national and organisational security frameworks, policies, and regulatory requirements.
• Support security testing and validation activities (such as vulnerability assessments and penetration testing), track findings, and follow up on remediation actions with relevant technical teams.
• Assist in preparing security documentation, operational guidelines, and awareness materials, and in delivering briefings or workshops to project and client stakeholders as required.

Requirements

• Degree in computer science, information security, engineering, or related technical discipline from an accredited institution.
• Experience supporting cybersecurity or information security activities for large-scale digital, platform, or enterprise solutions in infrastructure, utilities, or urban environments.
• Working knowledge of core cybersecurity concepts and practices in Qatar, including risk assessment, security architecture, identity and access management, network and application security, and security monitoring.
• Basic understanding of relevant security standards and frameworks (such as ISO 27001, NIST, or equivalent) and how they are applied in practice.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS) and to security considerations for APIs, web applications, and integrations with OT/IoT, SCADA, and GIS platforms.
• Experience working within multidisciplinary, multinational teams across multiple time zones.
• Strong organisational and coordination skills, with some experience in structured project or delivery environments (e.g., PMI, PRINCE2, Agile/Hybrid).
• Exposure to testing, acceptance, or go-live activities where security controls and requirements must be validated before production deployment.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills, with the ability to convey security concepts and requirements to non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience contributing to cybersecurity for Digital Twin, smart city, or data/analytics platforms, including OT/IT convergence scenarios.
• Fluency in spoken and written English.
• Prior work with national infrastructure owners, critical infrastructure operators, transport authorities, utilities, or public works organisations.
• Professional cybersecurity certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, or cloud security certifications (e.g., Azure or AWS security credentials).
