Description

The Mission At PortSwigger, we are a team of passionate, brilliant, and hands-on problem-solvers who thrive on variety and impact. We believe in empowering our people with the freedom to tackle complex, interconnected problems and drive meaningful change. This is an environment for those who are energised by working on a continuous stream of the most interesting challenges a business can face.We're a rapidly growing company with huge ambitions, having secured one of the largest investments in the North-West for the past two years. This incredible growth journey means we're evolving to robust, enterprise-ready operations. This presents a unique opportunity to balance rapid innovation with the need for scalable and secure systems as we continue to expand. We're looking for someone to join us through this exciting evolution, navigating the complexities of scaling our distinctive culture and maintaining operational effectiveness. This critical role will involve expanding our technical workforce, developing leaders for larger teams, and ensuring strategic alignment across specialized global teams in a constantly evolving threat landscape. Join us and be a part of shaping the future of a company that's thriving. The Challenge We are looking for a dynamic and versatile individual who acts as our internal fixer and all-rounder. This is not a typical, narrowly-defined role. You will be parachuted into different parts of the business to solve our most critical and complex problems. One quarter you might be building a high-performing team, the next you could be rolling out new AI initiatives or elevating a successful department to its next level of performance. You will be a trusted partner to teams and leaders across the organisation, using your analytical prowess and high emotional intelligence to diagnose issues, devise innovative solutions, and deliver results. This role requires a hands-on approach; you will be as comfortable leading a project squad as you are diving into the data yourself. Your Impact Tackle and solve a wide variety of our most difficult and unusual business problems. Deliver measurable value and tangible outcomes across a broad spectrum of projects and business areas. Seamlessly integrate into different teams to plug gaps, whether in a leadership capacity or as an individual contributor. Champion transformational change, from leading a positive shift in working methods to implementing new technology and fostering cultural change. Translate complex technical concepts and data into clear, actionable plans for diverse audiences. Work quickly and iteratively, prioritising high-intensity projects and rapid learning cycles over steady, linear rollouts. Your Profile An Experienced Problem-Solver: Your career history is not linear but demonstrates growth and achievement through regular changes in industry, job function, or business area. You have likely held internally focused roles such as in Operations, Enablement, or R&D and have experience in a scale-up environment. An Analytical Powerhouse: You have a strong academic background, with a preference for analytical or math-related subjects. You are an analytical powerhouse and data wizard who approaches problem-solving from first principles. An AI Enthusiast: You possess a genuine excitement for AI and are an early adopter. You can speak at length about what you have tried and learned, and are actively finding ways to apply it in your work. A Versatile Leader and Teammate: You are an exceptional, clear communicator. You can lead a team effectively but are not attached to titles and are equally happy being a hands-on individual contributor. People trust you to get things done. Driven by Impact, Not Status: You are motivated by challenge, variety, freedom, and working on hard problems with brilliant people. You are not climbing a traditional career ladder; you are focused on gaining experience and doing engaging work. A Proactive Self-Starter: You have a give-it-a-go attitude and drive your own learning and development. You welcome honest feedback with resilience and curiosity and act on it. Be well rewarded We offer salaries for this role that reflect individual ability and contribution. We firmly believe in paying people what they are worth to us, and you can expect generous increases in your salary as your skills and experience develop. We also have a comprehensive benefits package and offer share options to all our people after one year of employment. All our people also receive: ● 8% employer pension contribution. ● Life assurance: 4x salary. ● Income protection: full pay for the first 6 months of incapacity followed by 75% of salary plus pension contribution. ● Private medical insurance (Bupa). ● 25 days holiday plus public holidays. ● Car Scheme/Bike Scheme. ● Continuous personal development. ● Buddy to support you. ● Free lunch by our lovely chefs.
