Job Description

Vulnerability Assessment & Management

  • Own and evolve the end-to-end continuous vulnerability management program across multi-cloud, modern infrastructure, and legacy environments.

  • Define risk-based prioritization logic combining vulnerability severity (CVSS), asset criticality, and active exploitability metrics.

  • Collaborate closely with ICT, SRE, and business unit stakeholders to enforce remediation timelines and drive patching accountability without disrupting business operations.

  • Establish metrics, SLAs, and executive dashboards to communicate enterprise exposure and remediation progress to senior leadership.

Penetration Testing & Red Teaming

  • Define the operational strategy and schedule for penetration testing and objective-based red teaming exercises.

  • Manage internal specialists and external vendors/penetration testers to ensure comprehensive coverage, clear scope definition, and high-quality deliverables.

  • Oversee post-assessment remediation validation to ensure identified security gaps are properly addressed.

Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting

  • Build and integrate a Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) program to gather, analyze, and act upon emerging threat indicators and adversary TTPs (MITRE ATT&CK framework).

  • Direct proactive threat hunting campaigns across endpoints, identity, and cloud environments to uncover hidden, undetected adversaries or security weaknesses.

  • Feed threat intelligence and hunting findings back into detection tools, threat models, and vulnerability prioritization engines.

Stakeholder Management & Strategic Leadership

  • Serve as the primary security partner and strategic interface for system owners, software developers, infrastructure teams, and third-party vendors.

  • Influence and negotiate remediation priorities with senior business and technical leaders, balancing cyber risk reduction against operational impact.

  • Evaluate, implement, and optimize TVM and offensive security technology stacks (scanners, pentesting toolkits, threat intel feeds).

Team Leadership and Development

  • Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing team of vulnerability management analysts, penetration testers, and threat researchers.

  • Provide hands-on technical guidance during complex technical deep-dives, exploit evaluations, and attack surface reviews.

  • Foster a culture of technical rigor, continuous learning, and innovation within the offensive and proactive security domains.


WHO YOU ARE:

  • 10+ years of experience in Cyber Security, with a strong focus on Vulnerability Management, Penetration Testing, Threat Intelligence, and Red Teaming.

  • Technically apt with deep understanding of exploit mechanisms, risk scoring frameworks (CVSS, EPSS), cloud security, network architecture, and security tooling

  • Proven ability to lead and motivate teams, build strong relationships, and influence decision-making at all levels.

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related technical field.

  • Excellent communication skills, capable of translating complex attack vectors and security risks into actionable business insights.

  • Relevant industry certifications (e.g., OSCP, GXPN, GPEN, CISSP, CISM, or equivalent) are highly advantageous.
