Position Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Consultant specializing in enterprise cryptography, key management, and post-quantum readiness to lead strategic client engagements focused on cryptographic risk, encryption modernization, key lifecycle management, and quantum-resilient architecture. This role serves as a senior advisor to CISOs, architecture leaders, and risk executives, helping organizations design and execute comprehensive cryptographic programs that address current operational and regulatory requirements while building resilience against emerging quantum threats. The ideal candidate blends deep cryptographic expertise across key management, PKI, encryption operations, and post-quantum cryptography with consulting leadership and business acumen to translate complex cryptographic challenges into actionable, risk-based strategies.

Key Responsibilities

• Advise executives and security leaders on cryptographic risk, key management strategy, quantum readiness, and long-term encryption posture
• Lead cryptographic maturity evaluations, PQC readiness assessments, and key management capability reviews
• Develop enterprise cryptographic roadmaps aligned to business risk, data classification, and regulatory drivers
• Present findings and recommendations to senior leadership and boards
• Lead enterprise-wide cryptographic asset discovery across algorithms, certificates, keys, protocols, and encryption dependencies
• Identify "harvest now, decrypt later" exposure and prioritize remediation based on data sensitivity and shelf life
• Assess third-party and supply chain cryptographic dependencies including SaaS providers, payment processors, certificate authorities, and embedded systems
• Design and assess enterprise key management programs covering the full lifecycle: generation, distribution, rotation, revocation, escrow, and destruction
• Architect HSM strategies including capacity planning, clustering/HA models, and FIPS 140-2/140-3 validation requirements
• Design and assess PKI architectures including CA hierarchy, certificate lifecycle management, and trust models
• Design crypto-agility architectures supporting algorithm transitions, including hybrid key exchange implementations (e.g., ML-KEM combined with classical ECDH)
• Lead multi-phase cryptographic transformation programs across key management, PKI, encryption, and PQC migration
• Define governance models for cryptographic lifecycle management
• Translate cryptographic risk into business and regulatory impact
• Contribute to whitepapers, research, and industry presentations

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years in cybersecurity with deep focus on cryptography and encryption
• Enterprise key management lifecycle design and operations
• HSM architecture, deployment, and FIPS validation requirements
• PKI architecture, certificate lifecycle management, and trust models
• Cryptographic protocols and algorithms (symmetric, asymmetric, hashing, digital signatures)
• Encryption architectures across data states (at-rest, in-transit, in-use) in cloud and hybrid environments
• Strong understanding of Post-Quantum Cryptography concepts and enterprise migration challenges
• Experience advising large enterprises and regulated industries
• Exceptional communication and client-facing skills

Key Competencies

• Strategic thinking and executive presence
• Ability to simplify complex cryptographic concepts
• Strong consulting and stakeholder management skills
• Risk-based decision framing
• Program and architecture leadership
• Cross-functional collaboration across security, networking, application development, DevOps, and compliance teams
