Candidate profile: A cybersecurity architect from a large technology vendor wanted work with deeper national impact but was concerned that a public-sector move might limit technical growth.

Challenge

The candidate was technically advanced yet had not previously worked in a clearance-led environment. The hiring organisation needed someone able to design secure architecture, explain risk to non-technical leaders and help establish a new internal capability.

Solution

Erdobar mapped roles where the candidate’s cloud-security expertise could have direct operational relevance, prepared them for structured competency assessment and coordinated the clearance process in parallel with interviews. We also ensured the role included certification funding and a clear specialist progression route.

Result

The candidate accepted a Lead Security Architect appointment with a national agency. They designed the target architecture for a shared digital platform and built an internal team that reduced reliance on external security contractors during the first year.
