Threatscape’s Microsoft Security Practice is growing, and we are looking for an Associate Consultant who is eager to learn, motivated to develop their technical skills, and confident communicating with both clients and colleagues. You’ll work closely with our experienced consultants, including five Microsoft MVPs, while building a strong foundation in Microsoft Security technologies.
This role is ideal for someone with early professional experience in IT or security (1–3 years), who has a good grasp of Microsoft technologies and a strong desire to grow into a worldclass security consultant.
Above all, we value people who have high agency, contagious enthusiasm, communicate clearly, enjoy collaborating, are curious, proactive learners, and show professionalism, empathy, and attention to detail.
Ability to work independently in a remote-first role is key.
If that sounds like you, we want to talk.
