PURPOSE OF POSITION:

We are seeking a Red Team Lead with a strong focus on administrative operations and team coordination to support our red team within a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) environment. This role is designed to offload non-technical responsibilities from our technical leadership, enabling them to focus on fieldwork, mentorship, and service quality.

The ideal candidate excels at operational coordination, documentation, and cross-team communication—and is confident supporting business functions such as proposal writing, Statement of Work creation, and internal liaison with sales and project management teams.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Team & Operational Coordination

• Act as the main liaison between the red team and the Project Management Office (PMO) for resource planning, timelines, and engagement handoffs.
• Coordinate technical team availability, training, and internal initiatives.
• Maintain visibility over active and upcoming engagements to support resource and capacity planning.

People Leadership

• Be a people leader to a team of Cyber Security Red Teamers.
• Conduct performance reviews on subordinates.
• Manage team member leave requests.
• Have 1 on 1s with team members.
• Perform initiatives from a leader perspective that can improve team morale and increase our employee value proposition.

Administrative Leadership

• Manage and maintain documentation processes, including version control, internal QA coordination, and standardised templates.
• Maintain team operational assets such as tooling inventories, internal process documents, and reporting checklists.
• Ensure consistent and efficient delivery operations across all red team engagements.

Sales Enablement & Scoping Support

• Support the sales and pre-sales teams in creating engagement proposals, scopes, and pricing estimates (e.g., Bill of Materials).
• Draft and review Statements of Work (SoWs) for red team services, ensuring they align with delivery capabilities and client expectations.
• Participate in scoping calls to gather and clarify engagement requirements and assist in translating them into deliverable-ready documents.
• Ensure alignment between red team delivery, client expectations, and contractual terms.

Client & Stakeholder Engagement Support

• Attend client calls (scoping, planning, debriefs) in a supporting capacity—documenting decisions, next steps, and action items.
• Coordinate feedback, QA processes, and delivery of final reports and documentation.
• Facilitate clear communication between clients, red team members, PMO, and sales.

Operational Development:

• Work with red team members and PMO to optimise internal workflows, team communications, and knowledge management.
• Track and report on engagement metrics such as QA outcomes, documentation timelines, and delivery consistency.
• Help streamline internal tools and documentation processes to support team efficiency and scalability.

Support & Collaboration

• Assist the technical lead in organising internal mentorship programs, training schedules, and knowledge sharing sessions.
• Track certifications, training completion, and team development initiatives.
• Coordinate onboarding processes and logistics for new red team members.

KEY REQUIREMENTS:

Required Skills & Experience:

• 3+ years in an operational, coordination, or technical support role in cyber security or a related technology field.
• Familiarity with red team or offensive security concepts, services, and delivery models.
• Experience supporting sales or pre-sales efforts through documentation or scoping support.
• Exceptional organisational and documentation skills.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to interface across technical, sales, and client-facing teams.
• Proficient in tools such as Microsoft 365.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with writing or contributing to Statements of Work, proposals, and project scoping documentation.
• Background supporting MSSP or consulting environments.
• Exposure to QA processes and documentation standards in technical or security teams.
• Understanding of compliance and security frameworks (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, etc.).

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

• Red team operations are seamless and consistent, with a clear separation between technical and administrative responsibilities.
• The technical lead is free to focus on fieldwork, technical QA, and team mentorship, while engagements are well-supported behind the scenes.
• Sales and PMO teams are supported with accurate, timely input for proposals, SoWs, and engagement planning.
• Clients experience smooth communication, timely deliverables, and consistently high-quality service.

Should you work from home, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have uninterrupted internet connectivity and a ‘work-like’ environment at your home location to deliver your best in terms of performance and productivity.
