- Work with other parts of the business to develop a method for testing detection capabilities through Purple Team Exercises and Red Team exercises (e.g., IA scenarios, AB scenarios etc.)
- Research latest threats and adhere to guidelines on Red Team Frameworks.
- Assist in the production of weekly/ monthly reports on security vulnerability trending and direction.

Position Requirements and Qualifications:

- Minimum 2 years mentoring junior and mid-level operators on red team tradecraft.
- Minimum 4 years of experience in delivering technical red team reports and briefings.
- A general understanding of information security concepts and security trends and practices.
- Problem solving with creative solutions.
