Life on the team

You’ll join a collaborative consultancy environment, working alongside security consultants, engineers, project teams, customers and technology partners.

This is a hands-on Principal Consultant role where you’ll combine technical expertise, customer engagement and technical leadership.

What you’ll do

Lead the design, deployment, configuration and optimisation of Tanium Cloud and on-premises environments

Own technical workstreams from discovery and design through to implementation, testing and operational handover

Translate customer requirements into secure, scalable and supportable Tanium solutions

Work across Tanium capabilities including Asset, Discover, Patch, Deploy, Comply, Risk, Enforce, Performance, Provision, Investigate, Connect and Reporting

Design and implement endpoint onboarding, targeting, RBAC, patching, software deployment and remediation processes

Support migrations from legacy endpoint-management platforms such as SCCM, Ivanti and ManageEngine

Develop high- and low-level designs, implementation plans, technical documentation and operating procedures

Troubleshoot complex endpoint, network, firewall, proxy, certificate and platform connectivity issues

Support vulnerability management, security hygiene and compliance improvement programmes

Integrate Tanium with surrounding technologies such as ServiceNow, CMDB, identity and security platforms

Lead customer workshops, design reviews, demonstrations and technical presentations

Provide technical leadership, mentoring and assurance to other consultants and engineers

Identify and communicate technical risks, dependencies and delivery considerations

Contribute reusable methodologies, standards and technical assets to strengthen Computacenter’s Tanium practice

What you’ll need

Significant experience designing, implementing and operating Tanium within complex enterprise environments

Strong knowledge of endpoint management, endpoint security and enterprise IT operations

Proven experience across multiple Tanium modules rather than purely sales or theoretical knowledge

Experience deploying Tanium across Windows and Linux estates

Strong understanding of endpoint connectivity, networking, certificates, firewalls, proxies and segmented environments

Experience with enterprise patch management, software distribution and vulnerability management

Strong understanding of security principles including least privilege, compliance and attack-surface reduction

Experience producing customer-facing architecture, implementation and operational documentation

Excellent communication skills, with confidence engaging technical and non-technical stakeholders

Ability to lead technical workstreams, manage competing priorities and operate independently

Experience working within controlled environments with formal change, testing and governance processes

Active SC clearance

Current Tanium certification, with Tanium Certified Operator (TCO) as the preferred baseline

Desirable experience includes Tanium Certified Administrator (TCA), Tanium Cloud, PowerShell, REST APIs, SCCM migrations, ServiceNow integration, CIS/NIST/DISA STIG frameworks, Microsoft Intune/Defender/Entra ID and Linux.
