You will also contribute to the growth of the practice by developing new offerings and identifying opportunities to expand our presence with key clients across the region.

- Lead executive workshops, solution presentations, and stakeholder engagement sessions.
Business Development
- Support and lead proposals, RFP responses, and client pursuits.
- Identify opportunities to grow existing client relationships and develop new cybersecurity services and capabilities within the MEA market.
- Contribute to thought leadership, practice development, and the firm's profile in the region.
Experience
- 8–12+ years of cybersecurity experience, with significant time spent in consulting or professional services environments.

- Strong experience across cybersecurity strategy, risk, governance, architecture, and transformation — ideally with OT or critical infrastructure exposure.
- Experience leading solution design, engineering, and implementation in complex client environments.
- Demonstrated involvement in business development — proposals, client pursuits, or account growth.
Knowledge & Skills
- Deep understanding of cybersecurity frameworks and standards relevant to OT and critical infrastructure (IEC 62443, NIST CSF, NCA ECC, SAMA CSF, IEC 62443).
