Job Description

In this role, you will operate as a senior offensive security leader within a large, globally distributed organization where proactive identification of security gaps is critical to protecting sensitive data and complex digital systems. You will design and run continuous control validation programs, conduct red team and purple team exercises, and lead threat‑hunting initiatives with a hands‑on approach. Your responsibilities include reviewing enterprise security policies, analyzing multi‑layer architectures across cloud, endpoint, and network environments, and identifying misconfigurations or logic gaps before threat actors can exploit them. You will coordinate simulation of real‑world attack paths — such as lateral movement, data exfiltration, and privilege escalation — to validate organizational readiness and uncover silent detection failures. Beyond technical execution, you will translate findings into actionable remediation strategies, collaborate with IT, DevOps, and GRC teams to drive long‑term improvements, and track key metrics such as Time to Detect and Time to Remediate. This role also provides technical leadership, mentoring junior analysts and shaping the strategy for an internal threat‑hunting function while ensuring offensive activities uphold the highest ethical and operational standards.
