  • Ensure testing activities align with internal policy and external regulatory requirements.

Desired Experience and Skills

  • Strong capability in vulnerability identification, exploitation techniques and penetration testing methodologies.
  • Proven ability to communicate complex security issues clearly and confidently to a wide range of stakeholders.
  • Experience developing testing approaches, planning engagements and driving outcomes across multiple concurrent activities.
  • Experience mentoring others and contributing to a collaborative, inclusive team environment.
  • Experience working in cloud environments, particularly AWS.
  • Exposure to tools such as Kali Linux, Burp Suite, Metasploit and related security testing platforms.
