  • Support SIEM modernization and migration planning, including log source rationalization, detection migration, alert tuning, and operational transition
  • Help customers move from fragmented monitoring approaches into scalable, cloud-native security operations models
  • Own complex technical workstreams from discovery through delivery, including technical direction, scope, risks, and stakeholder coordination
  • Translate technical security findings into clear business risks, investment priorities, and actionable recommendations for senior leaders
  • Guide customer teams through secure Google Cloud design, configuration, deployment, and operational maturity decisions
  • Advise on Vertex AI and AI workload security, including identity, access control, data protection, governance, logging, and monitoring
  • Create architecture diagrams, assessment deliverables, roadmaps, implementation documentation, and operational runbooks
  • Develop repeatable methodologies, assessment frameworks, implementation patterns, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets
  • Mentor consultants and help raise the overall capability of the Google Cloud Security practice
  • Provide technical leadership during client reviews, executive briefings, architecture discussions, and operational meetings
  • Contribute to process improvement and automation initiatives that improve consistency, scalability, and delivery quality

WORK ENVIRONMENT/TRAVEL REQUIRED:

  • Demonstrable client-facing consulting experience, maintaining professionalism and clear communication in ambiguous, high-stakes, or fast-paced engagements.
  • 6 years of security consulting experience spanning various domains with at least 2 years experience directly working as a Google Cloud consultant.
  • Deep experience designing, securing, deploying, and operationalizing Google Cloud environments.
  • Strong expertise in Google Cloud security architecture, IAM, networking, logging, monitoring, data protection, workload security, and compliance-oriented design.
  • Hands-on experience with Google Cloud security services, including Security Command Center or equivalent cloud-native security platforms.
  • Experience leading cloud security posture assessments, architecture reviews, or enterprise cloud security modernization efforts.
  • Proven ability to lead complex technical engagements with multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and enterprise-scale environments.
  • Highly adaptable consulting mindset with the ability to move between strategy, architecture, implementation, delivery leadership, and executive advisory work.
