Team Leader for Cybersecurity

Open 24d

Summary

Leads a global cybersecurity team coordinating penetration testing for a large financial institution, ensuring assessments meet regulatory and quality standards.

Team Leader for Cybersecurity

We are looking for an experienced leader to steer the team responsible for the global coordination of penetration testing within a top-tier international financial institution.

This is not a "hands-on" technical pentester role. Instead, we need an expert who bridges the gap between deep IT security understanding and exceptional Service Delivery and people management. Your mission is to ensure that hundreds of scheduled security assessments (App, API, Infra, Mobile) are executed on time, meeting the highest quality standards and strict regulatory requirements.

  • Experience: At least 6–10 years of professional experience, with a strong focus on Project Management or Service Delivery.
  • Expertise: Solid background in cybersecurity practices (ideally within pentesting or security coordination workflows).
  • Leadership: Proven track record of managing teams within large, complex, international organizations.
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal English skills (min. B2/C1) for effective collaboration across multiple time zones.
  • Mindset: A problem-solver who can facilitate high-stakes meetings and implement standardized processes on an international scale.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
