Work you’ll do

 

As a Lead Cloud Security Analyst, you are an advanced individual contributor pivotal to bridging Deloitte’s cybersecurity expertise and cloud engineering execution. This highly visible role is focused on influential, hands-on contributions—championing embedded collaboration, addressing complex risks, and guiding strategic alignment between cyber and infrastructure domains. You’ll serve as a thought leader, technical consultant, and trusted advisor across teams, delivering best-in-class solutions and supporting dynamic business needs.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Advanced Execution

  • Lead Embedded Collaboration:
    Drive the flexible embedding of security and infrastructure resources—proactively advising, aligning, and executing as project needs evolve. Serve as the go-to analyst across high-impact domains, facilitating rapid adaptation as priorities shift.
  • Expert Solution Architecture Support:
    Collaborate closely with architecture, engineering, and network teams on cloud architecture, micro-segmentation, agent scanning, and burn-down strategies. Provide deep technical expertise to shape scalable, secure solutions from initial design through delivery.
  • Risk Assessment and Remediation:
    Conduct comprehensive risk reviews for cloud and infrastructure solutions, identifying gaps, potential rework triggers, and opportunities for proactive remediation. Serve as a first-line subject matter expert in incident response, vulnerability management, and security control implementation.

    Drive rigorous ongoing feedback loops with embedded teams to ensure day-to-day cyber alignment, minimize project drift, and reduce rework. Capture and share lessons learned, helping to formalize best practices and improve organizational knowledge.

Strategic Influence & Cross-Team Partnership

  • Tailor Embedding Models:
    Assess and recommend embedding intensity across teams (e.g., full-time support for firewall/critical ops, periodic or architecture-phase-only engagement for other domains). Provide consultative input on workforce planning, workload balancing, and talent optimization.
  • Mentor and Guide Peers:
    Model collaborative behaviors and help mentor less experienced analysts, reinforcing Deloitte’s culture of learning, agility, and business partnership.
  • Facilitate Stakeholder Communication:
    Proactively communicate risks, priorities, and achievements to senior stakeholders. Translate technical challenges into actionable business guidance, advocating for security and resilience.

We have been informed of instances where jobseekers are led to believe of fictitious job opportunities with Deloitte US (“Deloitte”). In one or more such cases, false promises of actual or potential selection, or initiation or completion of the recruitment formalities appear to have been or are being made. Some jobseekers appear to have been asked to pay money to specified bank accounts of individuals or entities as a condition of their selection for a ‘job’ with Deloitte. These individuals or entities are in no way connected with Deloitte and do not represent or otherwise act on behalf of Deloitte.

We would like to clarify that:

  • At Deloitte, ethics and integrity are fundamental and not negotiable.
  • We are against corruption and neither offer bribes nor accept them, nor induce or permit any other party to make or receive bribes on our behalf.
  • We have not authorized any party or person to collect any money from jobseekers in any form whatsoever for promises of getting jobs in Deloitte.
  • We consider candidates on merit and that we provide an equal opportunity to eligible applicants.
  • No one other than designated Deloitte personnel (e.g., a Deloitte recruiter or Deloitte hiring partner) is permitted to extend any job offer from Deloitte.

Anyone who at any time has made or makes any payment to any party in exchange for promises of job or selection for a job with Deloitte or any matter related to this (including those for ‘registration’, ‘verification’ or ‘security deposit’) or otherwise engages with any such person who has made or makes fraudulent promises or offers, does so (or has done so) entirely at their own risk. Deloitte takes no responsibility or liability for any such unauthorized or fraudulent actions or engagements. We encourage jobseekers to exercise caution.
