Penetration Testing Director
A leading global financial organisation is hiring a Director of Penetration Testing to lead and evolve its enterprise-wide testing capability across both cloud and on-premise environments. This is a senior, hands-on leadership role combining technical delivery, vendor oversight and programme build-out within a highly regulated environment.
You will take ownership of the end-to-end penetration testing function, shaping strategy, defining methodologies and ensuring high-quality execution across critical systems. Alongside managing third-party providers, you will play a key role in building an internal testing capability, while remaining technically involved in delivering complex assessments across applications, infrastructure and cloud platforms.
The role requires deep penetration testing expertise, proven experience leading or scaling testing programmes, and the ability to operate in a structured, risk-driven environment. Certifications like the OSCP will be beneficial, but aren’t a prerequisite.
This position is based in New Jersey with 2 days per week required in the office.
Salary: $170,000 – $210,000 base + bonus ($70k on target) + benefits
No visa sponsorship is currently available. You must be authorised to work in the US.
