Cyber Security Associate Jobs in Wallingford, CT

We Are:

A cybersecurity consulting practice focused on helping organizations build real resilience—before, during, and after an incident. We design and run high-impact client engagements, and we build the data-driven tools that make those engagements better. Our team doesn’t just deliver advice; we create the structured frameworks, interactive assets, and analytical products that clients take home and actually use. We’re growing a capability at the intersection of cybersecurity expertise and applied data and development skills—and we want people who can do both.

You Are:

A data-minded cybersecurity consultant who builds things. You're as comfortable in front of a client room as you are in a Python notebook or low-code development environment. You think in structures—how do you capture the right inputs, surface the right insights, and produce outputs that drive decisions? You have a strong foundation in cyber readiness and recovery concepts, and you use that knowledge to design tools that make engagements sharper and scalable. You're familiar with Azure, comfortable using AI as a development accelerator, and you care deeply about the quality and usability of what you produce. You pick up new domains, tools, and environments quickly—and you bring that same curiosity to every engagement.

You bring executive presence to client interactions, can translate complex technical concepts for any audience, and stay composed and focused when the path forward isn't fully defined.

The Work:

• Design and build proprietary tools, templates, and data products that support cyber readiness and recovery engagements—turning repeatable consulting work into structured, reusable assets

• Translate engagement workflows and client outcomes into functional prototypes using low-code platforms, AI-assisted development, and data visualization tools (Power BI, Azure Data services, Python, or similar)

• Own the full arc of a client engagement: from scoping and facilitation through synthesis, analysis, and delivery of polished, actionable outputs

• Work with data throughout—structuring inputs, analyzing results, and producing frameworks and reports that are clear, defensible, and decision-ready

• Collaborate with senior practitioners to identify where new tooling can improve consistency, speed, or quality across the practice’s service offerings

• Govern the tools you build: documentation, version control, onboarding guides, and iteration based on real-world use

• Build trusted client relationships; serve as a credible, articulate voice on cyber resilience strategy and the practical value of data-driven approaches

• Contribute to practice development—proposals, capability decks, and internal knowledge-sharing

• Travel to client sites as needed (estimated 25–50%); primarily Monday–Thursday cadence

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

Here’s What You Need:

• Minimum of 3 years of experience spanning cybersecurity consulting and data-oriented development or analysis

• Minimum of 4 years of client-facing or strong consulting experience: you can lead a room, facilitate a difficult conversation, and present complex findings in plain language to diverse audiences, including executives

• Minimum of 4 years of demonstrated ability to build something—a tool, dashboard, structured template, or automated workflow—that others actually use in professional practice

• Minimum of 4 years of experience producing structured deliverables with analytical substance—not just slide decks, but frameworks, models, or data products that reflect real depth

• Minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in Microsoft Azure environments; familiarity with Azure data and analytics services is a strong plus

• Minimum of 4 years of demonstrated experience in least one data or development layer: Python, Power BI, Power Apps/Automate, SQL, or a comparable stack

• Minimum of 1 year using AI coding assistants and generative tools as part of your everyday development workflow—not just occasionally, but fluently

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Data Science, Computer Science, or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)

Bonus Points If:

• You’ve built tools or assets that were adopted and scaled across a team or practice, not just used once

• You have experience designing structured decision-support frameworks or analytical products for security or risk use cases

• You hold a relevant certification: CISSP, CISM, SC-200, AZ-500, PL-300, or equivalent

• You have experience with AI governance, responsible use frameworks, or tool validation in a security context

• You’ve contributed to a CoE, internal capability build, or practice development initiative

• You have experience with KQL, Sentinel Workbooks, or similar query/visualization layers in Azure
