PURPOSE OF POSITION :

We are seeking a Red Team Lead with a strong focus on administrative operations and team coordination to support our red team within a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) environment. This role is designed to offload non-technical responsibilities from our technical leadership, enabling them to focus on fieldwork, mentorship, and service quality.

The ideal candidate excels at operational coordination, documentation, and cross-team communication—and is confident supporting business functions such as proposal writing, Statement of Work creation, and internal liaison with sales and project management teams.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES :

Team & Operational Coordination

  • Act as the main liaison between the red team and the Project Management Office (PMO) for resource planning, timelines, and engagement handoffs.
  • Coordinate technical team availability, training, and internal initiatives.
  • Maintain visibility over active and upcoming engagements to support resource and capacity planning.
  • People Leadership

  • Be a people leader to a team of Cyber Security Red Teamers.
  • Conduct performance reviews on subordinates.
  • Manage team member leave requests.
  • Have 1 on 1s with team members.
  • Perform initiatives from a leader perspective that can improve team morale and increase our employee value proposition.
  • Administrative Leadership

  • Manage and maintain documentation processes, including version control, internal QA coordination, and standardised templates.
  • Maintain team operational assets such as tooling inventories, internal process documents, and reporting checklists.
  • Ensure consistent and efficient delivery operations across all red team engagements.
  • Sales Enablement & Scoping Support

  • Support the sales and pre-sales teams in creating engagement proposals, scopes, and pricing estimates (e.g., Bill of Materials).
  • Draft and review Statements of Work (SoWs) for red team services, ensuring they align with delivery capabilities and client expectations.
  • Participate in scoping calls to gather and clarify engagement requirements and assist in translating them into deliverable-ready documents.
  • Ensure alignment between red team delivery, client expectations, and contractual terms.
  • Client & Stakeholder Engagement Support

  • Attend client calls (scoping, planning, debriefs) in a supporting capacity—documenting decisions, next steps, and action items.
  • Coordinate feedback, QA processes, and delivery of final reports and documentation.
  • Facilitate clear communication between clients, red team members, PMO, and sales.
  • Operational Development :

  • Work with red team members and PMO to optimise internal workflows, team communications, and knowledge management.
  • Track and report on engagement metrics such as QA outcomes, documentation timelines, and delivery consistency.
  • Help streamline internal tools and documentation processes to support team efficiency and scalability.
  • Support & Collaboration

  • Assist the technical lead in organising internal mentorship programs, training schedules, and knowledge sharing sessions.
  • Track certifications, training completion, and team development initiatives.
  • Coordinate onboarding processes and logistics for new red team members.
  • KEY REQUIREMENTS :

    Required Skills & Experience :

  • 3+ years in an operational, coordination, or technical support role in cyber security or a related technology field.
  • Familiarity with red team or offensive security concepts, services, and delivery models.
  • Experience supporting sales or pre-sales efforts through documentation or scoping support.
  • Exceptional organisational and documentation skills.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to interface across technical, sales, and client-facing teams.
  • Proficient in tools such as Microsoft 365.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience with writing or contributing to Statements of Work, proposals, and project scoping documentation.
  • Background supporting MSSP or consulting environments.
  • Exposure to QA processes and documentation standards in technical or security teams.
  • Understanding of compliance and security frameworks (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, etc.).
  • WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE :

  • Red team operations are seamless and consistent, with a clear separation between technical and administrative responsibilities.
  • The technical lead is free to focus on fieldwork, technical QA, and team mentorship, while engagements are well-supported behind the scenes.
  • Sales and PMO teams are supported with accurate, timely input for proposals, SoWs, and engagement planning.
  • Clients experience smooth communication, timely deliverables, and consistently high-quality service.
  • Should you work from home, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have uninterrupted internet connectivity and a ‘work-like’ environment at your home location to deliver your best in terms of performance and productivity.
