About The Position

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. This role embodies Apollo’s intelligence-led, business-first approach: see clearly, secure wisely.

Requirements

• Cybersecurity experience, including client-facing advisory, consulting, or security leadership
• Demonstrated ability to develop and communicate cybersecurity strategy and roadmaps to executive audiences.
• Deep working knowledge of one or more major frameworks (NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, CMMC) and how to operationalize them.
• Strong understanding of security architecture, controls, and risk across on-premises and cloud environments.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication; able to lead executive and board-level conversations.
• Experience managing long-term client relationships and multiple concurrent engagements.

Nice To Haves

• Senior certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or CISA.
• Prior vCISO, security manager, or security architect experience.
• Experience in regulated industries or the public sector.
• Familiarity with cloud security across Azure, AWS, GCP, and M365.

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.
