BH has been in the Cybersecurity and Data Protection sector for many years, and in our experience – Project Management is the single most important skill that our consultants demonstrate. That is why, when we are hire consultants, we always look for this key skill.  

Due to continued expansion, BH Consulting is looking to recruit a Senior Project Manager, with experience in IT, Cyber Security or Data Protection. If you are an experienced Project Manager in these areas and looking for a new role in a dynamic team, working on varied and interesting projects – we would love to hear from you!
