Senior Security Specialist

Help leading organizations transform cybersecurity from strategy into execution.

Capco is expanding its cybersecurity practice to support a range of projects across financial services, banking, insurance, capital markets, and other regulated industries. We are looking for Senior Cybersecurity Consultants who bring technical credibility, consulting acumen, and the ability to help clients move from security strategy to execution.

Working closely with CISOs, security leaders, architects, engineers, product owners, risk partners, and business stakeholders, you will help assess cybersecurity capabilities, define practical recommendations, support secure technology delivery, and strengthen cyber programs across complex enterprise environments.

This is not a purely policy, compliance, or documentation-focused role. Successful candidates will bring depth in one or more cybersecurity domains, the ability to engage technical teams, and the confidence to translate complex security challenges into clear recommendations, roadmaps, and delivery outcomes.

• Lead and support cybersecurity transformation initiatives for leading financial services and enterprise clients
• Assess current-state cybersecurity capabilities, identify control and technology gaps, and define practical target-state recommendations
• Work across key security domains including IAM, Zero Trust, cloud security, data protection, application security, vulnerability management, security operations, third-party cyber risk, and cyber resilience
• Partner with security architects, engineers, risk partners, product owners, and business stakeholders to define security requirements, delivery plans, and implementation roadmaps
• Translate cybersecurity requirements into actionable roadmaps, control designs, process flows, technical considerations, implementation plans, and client-ready deliverables
• Apply a cyber risk lens to technical security decisions by identifying control gaps, assessing security impacts, prioritizing remediation, and aligning solutions to enterprise risk expectations
• Facilitate workshops, stakeholder interviews, technical working sessions, and executive discussions with technical and non-technical audiences
• Support cyber capability uplift across people, process, technology, governance, and operating model dimensions
• Develop client-ready materials including maturity assessments, security roadmaps, target operating models, executive presentations, control mappings, risk summaries, and implementation plans
• Contribute to the growth of Capco cyber offerings, thought leadership, delivery assets, and practice capability

• Typically 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, security consulting, security engineering, security architecture, technology risk, IAM, cloud security, or cyber transformation
• Strong cybersecurity foundation with experience delivering or supporting security initiatives in complex enterprise environments
• Depth in one or more cybersecurity domains such as IAM, cloud security, data protection, application security, vulnerability management, security operations, third-party cyber risk, security governance, or cyber resilience
• Experience working with security technologies, controls, platforms, architects, engineers, or delivery teams to achieve cybersecurity outcomes
• Understanding of security control design, implementation considerations, risk reduction, remediation planning, and secure technology delivery
• Ability to translate technical cybersecurity concepts into business language, executive messaging, and practical delivery plans
• Experience developing security requirements, control requirements, roadmaps, maturity assessments, process flows, operating models, or implementation plans
• Strong communication, facilitation, structured problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills
• Experience working within financial services, insurance, banking, capital markets, or other highly regulated environments

• Previous consulting experience delivering cybersecurity transformation, security architecture, IAM, cloud security, data protection, security operations, or security modernization programs
• Experience with modern cyber topics such as Zero Trust, AI security, identity threat detection, attack path management, ransomware resilience, DevSecOps, cloud-native security, security automation, or secure-by-design engineering
• Experience with IAM, PAM, IGA, CIAM, authentication, access governance, identity lifecycle, secrets management, or non-human identity security
• Familiarity with platforms such as SailPoint, CyberArk, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, ForgeRock, Saviynt, ServiceNow, Archer, Jira, or Confluence
• Experience with cloud security across Azure, AWS, or GCP, including cloud identity, logging, monitoring, encryption, key management, secure landing zones, or cloud control frameworks
• Knowledge of security frameworks such as NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, COBIT, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or OSFI guidance
• Experience developing executive-level presentations, security roadmaps, target operating models, maturity assessments, business cases, or transformation plans
• Leading certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CISA, CCSP, CSSLP, GIAC, Security+, Azure Security, AWS Security, or IAM-related certifications
• Strong consulting acumen including client relationship management, executive communication, facilitation, structured problem solving, and the ability to influence stakeholders

• Deliver high-impact cybersecurity solutions for leading financial institutions and regulated enterprises.
• Work in a collaborative, flat, and entrepreneurial consulting culture where your ideas can make a real impact.
• Access continuous learning, professional development, and industry-recognized certifications.
• Partner with experienced cybersecurity practitioners, architects, and technology leaders across global markets.
• Help shape the future of cybersecurity transformation across financial services and beyond.

• Comprehensive Benefits Coverage – 100% company-paid health, life, and disability insurance effective from Day 1 of employment.
• Retirement Savings Program – RRSP with the option of receiving a matching employer contribution.
• Virtual Health Care and Employee & Family Assistance Program (EFAP) available to employees and eligible dependents.
