We're investing in our future with the continued growth of our Data & AI Practice, helping customers unlock the value of their data and adopt AI with confidence.

As AI moves from experimentation to everyday business use, organisations need practical guidance to ensure their AI investments are secure, governed and aligned to business outcomes.

The Role:

We're looking for a Principal Consultant – Data & AI Security & Governance to join our growing Data & AI Practice.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Lead AI security, governance and readiness assessments for customers.
  • Facilitate workshops to identify AI opportunities, risks and required controls.
  • Develop governance frameworks and practical recommendations for responsible AI adoption.
  • Translate AI, data and cyber risks into clear business outcomes.
  • Partner with Data, AI, Cloud and Cyber teams to deliver secure-by-design solutions.
  • Guide customers from discovery through to proof-of-value and adoption.
  • Build reusable frameworks, playbooks and governance assets that strengthen our practice.

About You:

  • Experience in security, governance, risk, compliance or advisory consulting across AI, data, cloud or emerging technologies.
  • Strong understanding of information security, privacy, identity and data governance.
  • Skilled at assessing risks, identifying control gaps and delivering pragmatic recommendations.
  • Confident working with stakeholders from technical teams through to executives.
  • Able to simplify complex concepts into practical business outcomes.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with M365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, Fabric, Purview, Defender or Sentinel.
  • Exposure to Generative AI, AI agents, LLMs and Responsible AI frameworks.
  • Experience in regulated or compliance-driven environments.
  • Relevant certifications across security, governance, privacy, cloud, data or AI.

Why Interactive?

At Interactive, you'll be part of a team that values growth, innovation and genuine connection. We offer hybrid flexibility, a supportive and collaborative culture and a strong focus on continuous learning, all within a company that puts people first.
