Orange Cyberdefense is on a mission to build a safer digital society. This mission will be accomplished by safely enabling business and helping our customers manage their digital risk. We are looking for a leader who wants to help us make a difference and work in an organization that is inspired by a humble and open culture.
We are seeking an experienced and visionary leader for our Ethical Hacking team to develop our business proposal and evolve our penetration testing capabilities. This role will involve building and managing a team of skilled ethical hackers as well as strategizing and expanding our offerings in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
The Ethical Hacking team at Orange Cyberdefense Sweden is working closely with the global organization that derives from Sensepost, one of the world leading ethical hacking companies. This close collaboration allows us to take in projects that are truly unique for this domain.
The local team in Sweden is mainly working with Nordic customers and responsible for performing all forms of complex technical security assessments of IT systems, ranging from testing web applications and external perimeter to internal infrastructure and Active Directory. Occasionally, mobile application assessments and source code reviews are performed as well as custom-made client software and hardware solutions. Operational Technology (OT), Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) are raising areas of interest for both our customers and the counterpart in the threat landscape.
This is an opportunity for someone who can help us expand the operations and capabilities to include additional types of assessments such as phishing and other social engineering assessments, cloud assessments (Azure, AWS and GCP) and red teaming down the road.

IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL:

• Lead and mentor a team of ethical hackers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
• Develop strategies and implementation plans to enhance the team’s technical capabilities and service offerings.

• Stay current with industry trends, emerging threats, and best practices to ensure our services remain cutting-edge.
• Oversee the execution of penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and security audits, ensuring high-quality deliverables.
  Support the team in performing tests as well as continuously developing your own skillset by performing your own tests.

To be successful in this role, we believe that you have a combination of the following elements:

• Experience in conducting penetration tests.
• Experience in leading and mentoring teams, fostering collaboration and innovation with a track record of developing talent.
• The ability to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and write clear reports on findings.
• A strong interest in the latest trends and threats in cybersecurity and hunger for information gathered from ongoing education, conferences, and community involvement.
• Analytical Thinking and the ability to approach complex security challenges creatively and develop effective solutions.
• Expertise in security tools and frameworks for example OWASP, NIST
• Strong business acumen with experience in developing client relationships and driving growth.
• Relevant certifications such as OSCP, OSEP, OSCE or CRTL are a plus
