Cyber Business Simulation and Exercise Lead - #2162429

Cyber Business Simulation and Exercise Lead - Contract

Sheffield

Join Global Cybersecurity Operations and Intelligence as part of a small global team delivering realistic cyber business simulations that test decision-making, escalation, and resilience across the organisation. You'll translate technical threats into business-relevant scenarios, coordinate complex stakeholder logistics, and produce the reporting that informs senior leadership on cyber preparedness.

What you'll do:

• Plan and coordinate all logistical aspects of cyber business simulations — timelines, stakeholder inputs, materials, dependencies
• Collect and assess technical/business data to identify blast radius, affected systems, and relevant scenarios
• Map cyber kill chains and threat pathways into credible business simulation scenarios
• Create exercise products: scenario narratives, injects, briefing packs, facilitation notes, action logs
• Produce clear executive reports, management information, and lessons-learned summaries
• Support after-action reviews, readouts, and follow-up action tracking
• Work closely with technical SMEs, senior leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders

What you'll bring:

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, confident working with senior leadership and cross-functional teams
• Excellent planning and logistical coordination capability
• Ability to interpret technical/business data to support scenario and blast-radius design
• Working knowledge of cyber incident response, kill-chain concepts, and threat scenarios
• Strong written and verbal communication; able to make complex topics accessible to non-technical audiences
• Experience with simulations, tabletop/crisis exercises, operational resilience, or similar coordination-focused delivery work
• Good knowledge of Microsoft 365 collaboration/reporting tools

Nice to have: Certifications in project management, risk management, operational resilience, crisis management, or cybersecurity; presentation/facilitation experience.

Ideal for: someone who combines strong stakeholder coordination and planning skills with enough cyber fluency to turn technical threat data into scenarios senior leaders can engage with — this role prioritises delivery and communication capability over deep technical depth.
