Job Description

We are looking for an AI Security Consultant to help secure the next generation of AI, GenAI and ML platforms inside a large, complex, highly regulated environment.

This is a hands-on contract role sitting at the heart of secure development - shaping how AI is designed, built and operated securely by default, not bolted on later.

What you'll be doing

  • Embedding AI security controls into DevSecOps pipelines

  • Defining secure patterns for ML models, GenAI apps and AI agents

  • Advising engineering teams on real-world AI threats (prompt injection, model poisoning, data leakage, unsafe model formats)

  • Evaluating and onboarding AI security tooling (model scanning, runtime guardrails, vulnerability detection)

  • Translating AI risk into practical, actionable controls

  • Acting as the go-to AI security expert across multiple delivery teams

What we're looking for

  • Strong background in cybersecurity (application, cloud or platform)

  • Proven experience in DevSecOps environments

  • Solid understanding of AI/ML and GenAI security risks

  • Hands-on exposure to ML models, pipelines or AI-enabled systems

  • Confident communicator who can influence without authority

Why this contract

  • Enterprise-scale AI programmes with serious investment

  • Influence how AI security is done properly, at scale

  • High-impact role with real visibility and autonomy

  • Long-term AI roadmap through 2026 and beyond
