Cybersecurity Consulting Graduate Programme

Joining Wavestone puts you at the forefront of helping some of the world’s leading organisations to develop strategies and take the right operational decisions in the key area of Cybersecurity. With a focus on topics such as Risk Management, Industrial Control Systems, Identity and Access Management and Data Protection, you will help clients increase their security level, innovate, and enhance operations without compromising on security.

The Graduate Programme:

You will be joining the business as a Client Analyst. The two-year programme will equip you with the skills, knowledge and experience to progress to become a Consultant in the business. You will receive formal training and mentoring directly from our senior level Consultants, however, the emphasis is on hands-on client involvement and practical experience that will build your capability and relationships towards a successful portfolio of engagements by the end of the programme. You will get the opportunity to specialise yourself towards our Cybersecurity area of excellence.

Being a larger firm with an entrepreneurial mindset, we find it important that your development plan is shaped by you and thus within the first few weeks of starting you'll sit down with your career manager and design a plan that will make sure you get the most out of the programme, regardless of previous experience!

Our Graduate Programme will give you practical experience with real life clients, consulting skills on top of your existing technical skills, and access to our network of experts who will help you grow your technical knowledge.

How your career will develop:

As a Consultant you will take responsibility for the delivery of operational client engagements. As you build your reputation and capability, the scope of responsibility will move into areas of strategy, research and advice.
