As a Senior Consultant or Manager in our Zero Trust practice, you will be a trusted advisor to Deloitte clients as they modernize how they secure access for their users, devices, applications and data. You will support and lead the design of Zero Trust architectures and roadmaps based on each client's business priorities and day-to-day operations. You'll draw on deep expertise in one or two Zero Trust pillars and a working understanding of how the pillars connect. You will also bring an objective view to technology decisions so clients can make choices that fit their environment.

What will your typical day look like?

No two days look the same. You will balance multiple client engagements and work alongside client security, network and infrastructure leaders. You'll learn their environment, challenge assumptions and help shape the direction of their Zero Trust programs. You will support and lead workshops and architecture discussions, and present recommendations to technical and executive audiences.

Within Deloitte, you will work with specialists across Cyber and Technology & Transformation and bring your expertise to proposals and pursuits. You will contribute to the development of colleagues through coaching, knowledge sharing and technical mentorship. Managers will take on broader coaching and team leadership responsibilities.
