A specialist consultancy delivering critical digital trust and security solutions to public sector and regulated industry clients is seeking a Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) Lead to join a high-performing team. You'll lead the implementation and optimisation of certificate life cycle tooling, processes, and governance to enhance cryptographic hygiene and compliance across complex organisations.

• Collaborate with Product Owners, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, and DevOps teams to ensure tooling integration aligns with business and security needs
• Define and document policies, procedures, and reporting mechanisms for effective certificate management
• Support change initiatives, rollouts, and training to embed new processes across delivery teams
• Identify risks, expired certs, and blind spots in current environments and drive remediation programmes

What We're Looking For:

• Deep knowledge of PKI (Public Key Infrastructure)
• Experience delivering or supporting transformation within technical domains (security, infrastructure, or DevOps)
• Solid understanding of certificate management concepts or prior exposure to PKI, CLM, or IAM tools
• Familiarity with change frameworks, Agile delivery, or structured project environments (eg Prince2, SAFe)
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• SC or DV clearance is preferred (or the ability to be cleared)

Why Join? You'll be part of a growing consultancy delivering mission-critical change programmes across government, defence, and enterprise. This is a hands-on leadership role with autonomy, variety, and the opportunity to shape how digital trust is managed across national infrastructure.
