Wiz CNAPP Implementation Consultant (Freelance)

• Contract: Freelance, 12 months
• Location: Remote, UK-based
• Day rate: Competitive
• IR35: Inside
• Client: Global medical device manufacturer (FTSE 100)
  
  

The opportunity A FTSE 100 global medical technology manufacturer has selected Wiz as its CNAPP platform after an enterprise evaluation. They now need an experienced consultant to take it from selection to a stable, fully operational BAU capability.

This is a hands-on, end-to-end role within a wider cloud security programme. That programme supports cloud adoption, AI, SaaS, data platforms and M&A integration across a large, regulated enterprise. You'll work alongside the client's security teams and Wiz Professional Services.

What you'll deliver:

• Discovery and design: confirm the environment, licensing, prerequisites and integrations, then define the implementation design and sequence.
• Infrastructure onboarding: onboard all in-scope AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes and SaaS environments into Wiz, then validate discovery and coverage.
• Integrations: connect Wiz to SIEM/SOC tooling, ticketing (e.g. ServiceNow, Jira), CI/CD and vulnerability management, and prove data flows end to end.
• Configuration and tuning: build the policy baseline, risk prioritisation, ownership mapping, dashboards, reporting and exception handling.
• Operationalisation: set up finding routing and operating procedures, run training and knowledge transfer, and provide hypercare into BAU.
• Roadmap: recommend and prioritise next steps for coverage, controls, automation and measurable risk reduction.
• Governance: keep clear implementation records, report on progress and evidence acceptance against success criteria.
  
  

What you'll bring Essential:

• Hands-on experience implementing Wiz end to end in a large enterprise: connectors, deployment, policy configuration and tuning.
• Strong multi-cloud security knowledge across AWS, Azure and/or GCP, including IAM, networking and Kubernetes.
• Experience integrating a CNAPP or CSPM platform with SIEM, ITSM (ServiceNow/Jira) and CI/CD pipelines.
• A track record of taking a security platform into BAU: runbooks, ownership models, training and handover.
• Confident with stakeholders, from engineering teams to security leadership, in a matrixed organisation.
  
  

Desirable:

• Wiz certifications, or delivery experience with a Wiz partner or Wiz Professional Services.
• Experience with other CNAPP tools (Prisma Cloud, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Orca, Lacework).
• Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and security automation.
• Experience in regulated sectors such as medical devices, life sciences, pharma or financial services.
