Position Overview:
The Cybersecurity Advisor II is an experienced, technically capable consultant who helps clients set and advance their cybersecurity strategy over long-term engagements. Beyond point-in-time assessment, the Advisor builds trusted, ongoing relationships — translating risk into a prioritized roadmap, guiding governance and framework alignment, and helping leadership make sound, business-aware security decisions.

Key Responsibilities:
- Serve as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders, helping define and advance cybersecurity strategy across multi-month and multi-year engagements.
- Develop prioritized, business-aware security roadmaps that mature client posture over time.
- Advise on governance, risk, and compliance — aligning programs to frameworks such as NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, CMMC, HIPAA, or PCI DSS.
- Translate technical risk into clear business language for executives and boards.
- Own the advisory relationship for assigned clients, driving cadence, measurable progress, and demonstrable risk reduction.
- Partner with assessors and engineers to ground recommendations in technical reality and validate remediation.
- Guide clients through security program development — policy, process, architecture direction, and tooling strategy.
- Support incident readiness, tabletop exercises, and post-incident program improvement as needed.
- Contribute to the maturation of Apollo’s advisory methodology, frameworks, and deliverable templates.
- Mentor junior team members and share knowledge across the practice.
- Stay current with emerging threats, regulatory change, and the evolving security technology landscape.
