Since its founding, Alcyconie has grown around a unique positioning: combining high-level expertise, innovation, and operational excellence in support of business continuity and cyber and digital crisis management.

As part of this growth momentum, the Experienced Cyber Crisis Management Consultant plays a key role within the Consulting and Training team. As a true project manager, you lead a wide range of engagements aimed at supporting, advising, and assisting our clients, whether major private-sector accounts or public bodies, in cyber crisis management, crisis communication, and business continuity. Our main contacts are the CISOs, CIOs, and management boards / executive committees of the organizations we support.

You work in a demanding, stimulating, and high-visibility environment, on varied engagements combining strategic consulting, operational support, sensitive situations, and transformation challenges.

This position is aimed at high-potential candidates looking to rapidly take on greater responsibility and build their career in a fast-growing company.

WHAT WE OFFER

At the heart of Alcyconie’s business, you support our clients in preparing for, training for, and managing crisis situations, particularly those of cyber origin.

You work with strategic organizations, large corporate groups, and players operating in particularly sensitive environments, on high-stakes engagements. In this capacity, you will interface directly with our clients, lead all or part of your engagements, and advocate Alcyconie’s recommendations to stakeholders of varied seniority and functions.

The position therefore requires a high degree of autonomy, strong reliability, and high standards, both in the quality of the deliverables you produce and in the stance you adopt with our clients.

In particular, you work on:

• Designing and running crisis exercises, from defining the objectives and scenario through to facilitation and the post-exercise review;
• Preparing and delivering training courses and awareness sessions for a wide range of audiences, including executives and crisis cell members;
• Defining business continuity strategies, conducting BIAs, and developing or updating BCPs;
• Providing operational support to our clients in implementing their programs and maintaining their operational readiness.

Depending on your experience, you will also contribute to:

• Supporting our clients during real-life crises;
• Producing high-value content: articles, white papers, practical guides, post-incident reviews, etc.;
• Steering projects operationally from launch through to closure, ensuring their quality and that objectives are met.

The position is based in Saint-Malo or at the Campus Cyber in Paris La Défense! Remote work is of course possible, and the role involves regular travel.

Contract type: permanent contract (CDI).
