Are you passionate about uncovering vulnerabilities before they become headlines? Join a global veterinary business where your expertise in cyber security testing will help protect the digital infrastructure that supports animal health worldwide. As our Cyber Security Testing Lead, you'll lead proactive testing efforts to expose weaknesses, validate controls, and drive real-world resilience across our systems.

What You'll Do
This is a hands-on leadership role within our Cyber Defence Red Team, focused on simulating real-world attack techniques to identify and close security gaps before they're exploited.

Key responsibilities include:
Security Testing Strategy: Design and execute end-to-end testing—from basic port scans to advanced adversarial simulations.

Risk Reporting: Analyse and communicate findings to the Blue Team and Compliance, driving remediation efforts.

Collaboration & Mentorship: Work closely with IT and development teams to resolve issues and mentor internal testers.

Third-Party Oversight: Manage external testing providers and ensure alignment with internal standards.

Continuous Improvement: Help close the gap between theoretical controls and real-world threats.

What You Bring
Essential:
Significant hands-on experience in cyber security testing, including penetration testing and live control attack simulations.

Proficiency with tools like Metasploit, Nessus, and similar platforms.

Strong understanding of network security protocols and standards.

Proven ability to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities across systems and applications.

Flexibility for occasional travel and out-of-hours support.

Desirable:
Certifications such as CISSP, CEH, OSCP.

Experience in cloud and mobile application security testing.

Familiarity with EASM, threat intelligence, and cyber risk research.

Understanding of compliance frameworks (GDPR, NIST, Cyber Essentials+, PCI-DSS, OWASP, SOC2).


Why Join Us?
Global Impact: Your work will help protect the systems that support veterinary care across continents.

Cutting-Edge Challenges: Tackle real-world threats in a complex, distributed business environment.

Collaborative Culture: Join a team that values innovation, transparency, and continuous learning.
