Senior Manager-ASR

As a Senior Manager of the Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) Team, you will lead an elite squad of highly technical security researchers and penetration testers. In the high-stakes environment of a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), this team is the frontline of defence and offense for our global clients.
You will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of advanced security assessments, ranging from automated attack surface discovery to manual "Red Team" operations. This is a leadership role that requires technical depth, as you will guide experts in breaking into some of the most complex environments in the world to ensure they are unshakeable.
Key Responsibilities
Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performance team of technical specialists. Foster a culture of continuous research, curiosity, and ethical hacking excellence.
Full-Spectrum Assessments: Oversee the execution of comprehensive security evaluations, both internally and externally for our client portfolio:
Application Security: DAST, SAST, SCA, both Black Box and Grey Box and deep-dive API security testing.
Offensive Operations: Red Teaming, Adversarial Simulations, and Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS).
Vulnerability Management: Advanced VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing)
Defensive Validation & Resiliency Testing: Ransomware Resiliency testing to ensure clients can withstand and recover from modern extortion tactics.
Attack Surface Discovery: Direct the continuous mapping of known and unknown digital assets to identify shadow IT and exposed entry points.
Service Innovation: Develop and refine the MSSP service catalogue. Identify emerging threats and translate them into new testing methodologies and cybersecurity services.
Stakeholder Management: Act as the technical authority during high-level client briefings, translating complex technical findings into actionable executive risk reports.
Requirements
Technical Requirements
Experience: 10+ years in Offensive Security, with at least 3–5 years in a formal leadership/management role.
Expertise: Deep technical mastery of the "Attacker Mindset." You should be comfortable discussing advanced exploitation techniques, CI/CD pipeline vulnerabilities, and hybrid or cloud-native lateral movement in the same breath.
Tooling & Frameworks: Proficiency in modern toolkits (Burp Suite, Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, etc.).
Expertise in BAS platforms and Attack Surface Management (ASM) tools.
Experience with Cloud Security (AWS/Azure/GCP) and container security (Docker/K8s).
Firm grasp of the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Certifications: Preferred: OSCE, OSEP, GXPN, or CISSP/CCSP/CISM.
Required Development & Automation Skills
Security Tooling Development: Proficiency in Python or Go (Golang) to build custom scanners, exploit wrappers, and automation scripts.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Solid understanding of Terraform or Ansible to rapidly spin up (and tear down) complex "range" environments for Red Team simulations and Ransomware Resiliency testing.
Dev-Sec-Ops & CI/CD Integration: Deep knowledge of how to integrate SAST/DAST/SCA tools directly into GitLab, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins pipelines without breaking the developer workflow.
API Mastery: Advanced ability to interact with, test, and develop against RESTful and Graph-QL APIs. This includes writing custom scripts to automate mass API vulnerability discovery.
Cloud-Native Development: Familiarity with Serverless (AWS Lambda/Azure Functions) and Containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) to identify and exploit misconfigurations in modern microservices architectures.
Exploit Development Basics: Understanding of low-level languages like C/C++ or Rust to oversee the team when they are performing deep-dive binary analysis or bypass research.
Data Engineering for Security: Ability to work with SQL/NoSQL and ELK stacks (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) to aggregate and analyse the massive amounts of data generated during Attack Surface Discovery.
Soft Skills & Leadership
Candor & Clarity: The ability to give direct, constructive feedback to a highly technical team while maintaining high morale.
Strategic Vision: Moving beyond "finding bugs" to helping clients build long-term Resilience Frameworks.
· Technical Depth: You must be able to "speak the language" of highly technical researchers to earn their respect and provide valid guidance.
· Pressure Management: Thriving in the fast-paced, 24/7 nature of an MSSP.
