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.

Your Responsibilities:

Team Leadership: Directly lead the coordination team across the EMEA region, fostering a culture of excellence and accountability.
Operational Oversight: Manage and track the annual Book of Work, ensuring all planned security assessments are executed according to the roadmap.
Global Collaboration: Work daily with technical Ethical Hacking units in India and other global IT departments to ensure seamless delivery and high-quality technical reviews.
Quality & Compliance: Maintain high-level reporting standards and ensure all testing activities comply with internal policies and international financial regulations.
Budget & Vendor Management: Oversee third-party cybersecurity contracts, monitor consumption, and assist in new contract negotiations to ensure optimal use of the budget.
Audit Support: Provide visibility to stakeholders by managing KPIs/KRIs and preparing necessary documentation for internal and external audits.

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).
