ABOUT US

We are a fast-growing boutique advisor dedicated to technology and digital enabled value creation for large-cap Private Equity firms and their global portfolio companies.

Our team consists of top consulting, industry and technology experts with deep expertise in Private Equity. We work as an extension of Operating Partner teams, playing a pivotal advisory role across the entire technology value creation chain - from value identification to value creation planning and value realization. We are expertise-led, impact and data driven, entrepreneurial and trusted advisors who are relentless in their commitment to our clients and the pursuit of value.

We have an ambitious growth agenda and are rapidly growing our team across UK, Europe, US and APAC. We are seeking talented and highly skilled Director-level consultants to join our team and support us to expand our impact in the Private Equity (PE) sector. You will be working closely with Alysian leaders, PE Operating Partners, and the CIOs/IT Leadership teams at portfolio companies to execute transformative IT-enabled value creation strategies.

CONTEXT ON ROLE

We are seeking a
Cybersecurity Architect
to lead and support cybersecurity assessments, strategy, and transformation initiatives for our global PE clients and their portfolio companies. This role focuses on cybersecurity due diligence, risk remediation, and post-merger integration, ensuring that security capabilities are aligned with investment objectives and operational needs.

You will work closely with PE Operating Partners, CIOs, CISOs, and IT leadership teams to assess security posture, design target-state security architectures, and execute programs that protect business-critical assets while enabling growth.

  • Committed to building reusable assets and operating efficiencies within their specialism, contributing to Alysian's broader capability and intellectual capital.
  • Consistently seeks and drives solutions that deliver value aligned with Private Equity expectations — recognizing that these priorities may differ from long-term business goals, as PE ownership may focus on rapid, short-term improvements that enhance sale value

3. Incident Readiness & Governance

  • Develop security governance models, KPIs, and reporting mechanisms for leadership and investors.

4. Compliance & Regulatory Alignment

  • Ensure alignment with relevant regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST).
  • Support audits, certifications, and security policy rollouts across global operations.

5. Cost Optimization & Vendor Management

  • Conduct security tool and service rationalization to reduce costs without compromising protection.
  • Lead RFPs, negotiate with MSSPs, and manage performance of security vendors.

6. Stakeholder Engagement

  • Collaborate with legal, finance, and operational teams to align security priorities with business objectives.
