This is remote based in the United States.


Please note that this role requires permanent authorization to work in the U.S. (i.e. U.S. citizen or permanent resident).


Responsibilities:

  • Conduct cloud configuration and security posture reviews using CSPM approaches and automated scanning methods aligned with Ankura cloud assessment practices.
  • Assess cloud configurations against predefined requirements and map gaps to common standards and regulatory expectations referenced in client deliverables, such as NIST, ISO, and CIS.
  • Analyze results and deliver client-ready reports that include prioritized remediation recommendations and actionable roadmaps.
  • Support reviews across key cloud security domains commonly covered in cloud assessments, including identity and access, network segmentation, logging and monitoring, workload configuration, and security governance.
  • Collaborate with engagement leads and stakeholders to validate findings and ensure recommendations are practical and aligned with the client’s operating model.
  • Work with clients and business leaders to support statements of work (SOWs) and engagement delivery.
  • Work cross-functionally with IT, engineering, and security stakeholders to drive adoption of cloud security controls and operational improvements.

Requirements:

  • Bachelors degree or equivalent experience
  • 3-5 years of relevant experience
  • Cloud Certificate (Azure /AWS/GPC) required
  • Experience delivering cloud security assessments for Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, and/or AWS environments, including configuration analysis and remediation planning; experience with GCP and Oracle Cloud is a plus.
  • Experience configuring Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft Purview is a plus.
  • Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce structured executive summaries and detailed findings and recommendations.
  • Hands-on experience implementing, migrating, and operating security controls in Microsoft Azure and/or Microsoft 365 environments.
  • Practical knowledge of identity and access management patterns in Microsoft cloud environments (for example, Entra ID and privileged access concepts).
  • Experience implementing security governance and controls that support compliance and risk management expectations in cloud environments.
  • Experience with CSPM tools and workflows used in cloud posture reviews, such as Prisma Cloud or Zscaler Posture Control is preferred.
  • Experience with cloud security posture management and configuration review programs, including translating findings into prioritized remediation plans is preferred.
  • Familiarity with security frameworks commonly used in cloud assessments, including NIST, ISO, and CIS mappings is preferred
  • Willingness to travel as needed (approximately 25%)
  • Please note that this role requires permanent authorization to work in the U.S. (i.e. U.S. citizen or permanent resident).
