Collaborate with Cybersecurity Operations, Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, and Security Engineering teams to address systemic weaknesses and align simulation outcomes with long-term resilience strategies.
In this role you will:
- Define and execute a strategic, multi-year adversary emulation roadmap to validate and enhance the organization s security posture against relevant threat actors. Align adversary emulation outcomes with security architecture, technology investment decisions, and organizational resilience objectives.
- Design, implement, and operate Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) platforms to emulate tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and integrate results with security information and event management (SIEM) systems.
- Conduct targeted simulation exercises to test detection, prevention, and response capabilities across technology, process, and personnel.
- Oversee the governance process for remediation of vulnerabilities identified through internal and third-party assessments, ensuring closure within agreed timelines.
- Produce and deliver clear, risk-focused reports on simulation outcomes to technical teams, senior management, and governance bodies.
- Collaborate with Cybersecurity Operations Centre (SOC), Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, and Security Engineering teams to validate and optimise detection logic, incident playbooks, and control effectiveness.
- Establish and maintain strong relationships with key internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment, transparency, and strategic impact of adversary emulation activities.
- Mentor and develop team expertise in adversary tradecraft and detection engineering, while engaging senior stakeholders to translate technical findings into business-focused insights, shape security investment priorities, and align outcomes with the organisation s long-term resilience strategy.
