Senior Security Consultant

Proactive Technology Management is looking for an experienced cybersecurity professional in the Detroit Metro area to join our team. You'll be the trusted security voice for our clients and the person who decides what security we sell and how we price it. We serve businesses with 10 to 500 employees and do a lot of work with healthcare organizations.

This is an advisory and architecture role, not a sales role. There is no sales quota. Your job is to give clients honest, practical advice: what they actually need, what fits their size, and what's marketing noise.

We are hiring an experienced cybersecurity professional to lead security for our clients. This person would work a hybrid schedule, meeting with clients remotely and on-site as needed, and working closely with our Primaries and our implementation engineer.

About Proactive Technology Management

• Constantly learning new tech
• We are Nuts about IT

Responsibilities

• If you enjoy sitting down with business owners, cutting through vendor hype, and giving advice people can act on, this role could be a great fit for you!
• Advise clients: meet with business owners and office managers, assess their risk, and explain recommendations in plain language they can act on
• Own our security stack: evaluate products, understand how they layer and overlap, and separate technical fact from vendor marketing
• Right-size and price it: build tiered security bundles for a 10-person office versus a 500-person organization, priced to be sustainable for us and sensible for clients
• Balance security with usability: design setups that protect clients without burying their staff in friction. Simple and maintainable beats clever
• Hand off cleanly: work with our implementation engineer so what you design gets deployed the way you intended
• Monday - Friday schedule
