MSP 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, with a heavy concentration in healthcare.

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.

Location:

We are looking for someone to work full-time in the Detroit Metro area. This is a hybrid position that is mostly remote, sometimes at a client, and occasionally at our office in Ferndale, MI.

Proactive Technology Is Different:

Monthly check-ins and annual path planning

Defined path for career development and personal growth

Fun, team-based approach

Constantly learning new tech

We are Nuts about IT

The Position:

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.

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!

This is a senior, client-facing position requiring deep, practical knowledge of cybersecurity for small and mid-sized businesses and the ability to explain it in plain language.

Must Have:

8+ years in IT, with at least 4 years focused on cybersecurity for small and mid-sized businesses

Experience recommending or designing security solutions for clients, ideally at an MSP or consultancy

A track record of explaining technical risk to non-technical decision-makers

Lives in or near metro Detroit and can attend occasional in-person client meetings

Above and beyond customer service

Good To Have:

HIPAA compliance experience: risk assessments, security policies, or audit preparation for healthcare clients

Security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, Security+ or CHPS (Certified in Healthcare Privacy and Security)

Experience writing policies, procedures or standardized service offerings

Familiarity with frameworks such as NIST CSF or CIS Controls

Bachelor's degree

The Dream:

Loves talking to clients and can translate security into a value add versus just an increased cost

Thought leader on the correct way to bundle and layer security products

Streamline implementation of products

Responsibilities:

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
