Salary:
£60k-£75k,
plus excellent benefits package
Contract Type:
Permanent
Role
Description:
This is an exciting and unique opportunity to forge a new team
within a highly respected organisation and to lead that team
forward. The role will undoubtedly be challenging and
rewarding.
Although our client is well established, the role of Senior
Consultant - Information Security exists within a division that
was established in March 07 and is therefore essentially a
start-up organisation. Already in existence is an MOD team
and MOD Team Leader, my client are now seeking to build a
corresponding team from the commercial sector. This team
will start with the initial appointment for the Senior
Consultant - Information Security.
The successful candidate will;
- be expected to work with the existing sales team to bring in
leads, (perhaps utilising personal network contacts)
- have the ability to sell themselves into an engagement
- be able to bring in fresh blood and ideas
- not be phased by the challenges that a start-up division will
face
- help to develop and grow the division and to build the team
- be able to spot opportunity and feed it back to the correct
person within the client organisation
Essential Experience:
This is a senior team leader position requiring commercial
Information Security experience and skills, ideally in the Telco
or Financial/Banking arena.
The successful candidate will have:
- 8-10
years Information Security experience
- team lead or management experience
- commercial Information Security skills
- skills pertinent to the scope of the role outlined above
When this role
was first announced, the client received initial CVs where the
candidate had extensive experience of managing large teams,
whilst this may be good for the future it’s not essential at
this juncture. Diversity, good commercial and information
security skills combined with a determined and dynamic attitude
will be
favourably
considered.
Job Title:
Penetration Tester
Location:
Bristol and Home
Salary:
£30-45k
Contract Type:
Permanent
Role Description:
Our client, a leading IT Consultancy is looking for a passionate
Penetration Tester. The candidate should have a quirky
hairstyle, preferably with a pony tail and a dress sense to
match. He/she should be a hard drinking insomniac, who writes
their best code between 3 and 4 in the morning. The candidate
must know at least one witty anecdote involving hex with
Assembly as a second language. The candidate must have zero
social skills and more people should know them by their handle
than their real name. The candidate must have felt the
exhilaration in gaining root and would be required to
demonstrate their "root dance" at interview. Unfortunately they
may also be required to occasionally wear a tie!
Seriously though, this is a special ethical hacking role, where
passion is more important than the usual qualifications such as
CEH or CISSP, furthermore, candidates chasing huge salaries
equivalent to the national debt of a small country need not
apply. You will still need to know your way around vulnerability
assessment and will be given a technical interview, but don’t
let that put you off too much, they are a good bunch!
Salary will be dependant on your skills and the value that you
bring to the team; it would be expected to be in the region of
£30K to £45K. The role is all Pen Testing, you will not be doing
other Infosec work without moving to another division, there
will be plenty of variety and therefore you must be willing to
travel, the work also includes travel to US security conferences
such as Defcon or Shmoo. For around the first 6 months you will
be based in Bristol, after that you may be permitted to travel
to clients sites and generate reports from home.
You will be a member of a close knit and highly professional
team with an exceptionally passionate ethos. CHECK/Crest Team
membership/leadership is desirable but certainly not essential.
Security Clearance (SC/DV) is not essential but SC must be
achievable. Achieving CHECK/Crest Team Leader status is actively
encouraged for team members.
Essential Experience:
• PASSION for penetration testing
• Security Clearance
Achievable
Desirable:
• The client is completely open minded, however, as Information
Security consultants ourselves, we will not put you forward
unless we are confident that you have the skills necessary for
penetration testing.
