Responsibilities
- Own cybersecurity consulting engagements from internal handoff and client kickoff through scheduling, delivery, acceptance, billing, and closeout
- Build and maintain project trackers and financial controls in Excel using formulas, structured tables, lookups, WORKDAY, SUMIFS, and related functions. This is analytical project control—not data entry
- Translate statements of work, deliverables, dependencies, and payment schedules into executable project plans with clear owners, dates, milestones, and billing triggers
- Manage milestone billing and contract mechanics, including invoice dates tied to deliverable dates, payment schedules, scope reductions, credits, and reconciliation between contracted and delivered work
- Coordinate consultant schedules and capacity across a small billable team, resolving resource conflicts and balancing client commitments, utilization, skills, and deadlines
- Lead client-facing project communications, including kickoff and status meetings, schedule changes, deliverable coordination, risk escalation, and written follow-up
- Maintain a clear, fact-based position when clients dispute scope, timing, acceptance, or billing while preserving the client relationship and escalating appropriately
- Identify scope creep early, document the impact, and convert out-of-scope requests into approved change orders before work proceeds
- Track testing progress, findings workflows, report review, retesting, and remediation follow-up with sufficient cybersecurity fluency to identify risks and ask the right questions
- Safeguard confidential client vulnerability information as well as internal pricing, utilization, cost, and margin data
- Improve project-management practices, templates, dashboards, workflows, and cross-functional handoffs across consulting, sales, operations, and finance
Skills
- Demonstrated project-management experience coordinating multiple concurrent, deadline-driven engagements with interdependent schedules and deliverables
- Advanced Excel capability, including nested formulas, structured tables and references, lookup functions, WORKDAY, SUMIFS, date logic, reconciliation, and error checking
- Practical command of milestone billing and contract mechanics, including payment schedules, deliverable-based invoice dates, partial or reduced scope, change orders, and billing reconciliation
- Experience scheduling and coordinating capacity for a small team of consultants or other specialized professionals
- Excellent client-facing written and verbal communication skills, including the judgment and composure to defend a well-supported position during a dispute
- Cybersecurity domain literacy across offensive or defensive work, with familiarity with common testing or assessment types, findings, evidence, remediation, and severity ratings
- Strong scope discipline and the ability to distinguish clarification from expansion, quantify impact, and initiate a change order
- Demonstrated ability to solve ambiguous problems and drive work independently without task-by-task supervision
- High discretion and sound judgment when handling sensitive vulnerability data, client information, and internal pricing and margin figures
- This role requires authorization to work in the U.S. without current or future visa sponsorship
- Experience with Autotask or another PSA/CRM platform such as ConnectWise, ServiceNow, or Salesforce
- Experience with Microsoft Planner or another work-management platform such as Jira, Asana, or Monday.com
- Experience with HubSpot or comparable sales-pipeline tooling
- Broad Microsoft 365 fluency, especially SharePoint, Lists, Teams, and Outlook

- Experience with PlexTrac or a similar security reporting platform, including user administration
- Power Automate and/or Power BI experience
- Subcontractor coordination experience
- PMP certification or an equivalent project-management credential
