You own the outcome — good or bad — and you expect the same accountability from everyone around you.WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Full accountability for the leadership, governance, and operational performance of the Penetration Testing Team
- Technical oversight of complex penetration testing engagements — scoping, quality assurance, and final sign-off on client deliverables
- The practice's technical standards, methodologies, and tooling — you decide what stays, what goes, and what gets adopted next
- Financial performance of the practice: utilisation, profitability, and cost control against agreed targets
- Final point of escalation for delivery risk, resourcing conflicts, and high-stakes client situations
- Pre-sales technical authority — approving Statements of Work, shaping bids, and leading major tenders
- Recruitment, development, and performance management of a team of senior consultants and testers
- Significant hands-on experience delivering complex penetration testing engagements, with the technical depth to challenge, assure, and sign off the work of senior testers
- A track record of leading technical teams and owning financial performance against hard targets
- Senior-level industry certification — CREST CCT, CHECK Team Leader, or equivalent demonstrable capability
- A record of making the tough call under pressure, backing your team, and taking ownership when things go wrong
- The confidence to challenge technical assumptions in the room — with clients, partners, and your own team
- Little patience for mediocrity, and the drive to push the practice forward rather than maintain the status quo
