Job Description:

The Industry Assurance team in Cyber Growth runs the Assured Penetration Testing Scheme on behalf of a public sector client, which mandates or strongly recommends such testing across all departments and infrastructure.

The team assesses the methodology and work of all scheme members from application through their participation. Members are supported to improve or, if necessary, removed from the scheme.

We seek an experienced senior penetration tester responsible for quality assuring the output of other testers in an operational environment. Experience as an assessor for a penetration testing exam body is also desirable.

Previous experience with the Scheme is preferred but candidates 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 outputs.

Responsibilities include:

• Sampling reports to ensure standard adherence and technical capability.
• Sampling reports from new Team Leaders and providing coaching/remedial support.
• Processing new applications for Scheme inclusion.

SC Clearance is required for this role.

The role is primarily remote (90%), with occasional meetings in Gloucestershire or London.
