\nLocation: Remote, US-based. Must be willing to accommodate east coast office hours.\n\nAbout the role
\nTekStream is hiring a Principal Analyst, Cybersecurity Advisory Services to be the senior-most individual contributor in our Advisory Services practice. You'll report to the Director of Advisory Services, lead our most complex client engagements, and serve as the Director's go-to partner on delivery, methodology, and new offerings.
\nThis is a senior delivery role with room to grow into leadership. You'll lead engagements from discovery and workshops through requirements, documentation, and handoff, guide and mentor other consultants on your engagements, and help shape new offerings, including our AI governance practice.

\nYou'll bring a broad, program-level view of cybersecurity, connecting work across identity, vulnerability management, cloud, detection and response, governance, and resilience.
