Job Description:
The Industry Assurance team in Cyber Growth manages the Assured Penetration Testing Scheme for a public sector client, which mandates or strongly recommends testing across all departments and infrastructure.
The team evaluates the methodology and work of all scheme members from application to completion. Support is provided to members for improvement, and removal from the scheme is possible in extreme cases.
We seek an individual with experience as a senior penetration tester responsible for quality assurance of other testers' output, preferably in an operational environment. Experience as an assessor for a penetration testing exam body is also desirable.
Ideally, candidates will have previous experience working within the Scheme but should not have current contracts to avoid conflicts of interest.
The candidate should also have experience as a senior member of an adversary simulation team, overseeing and quality assuring team output.
The role involves:
1. Sampling reports during the year to ensure compliance and technical capability.
2. Sampling new Team Leaders’ reports and providing coaching/remedial support as needed.
3. Handling new applications from companies wishing to join the Scheme.
SC Clearance is required for this role.
The position is primarily remote (90%), with occasional meetings in Gloucestershire or London.
