Director – Purple Team

I have a very interesting Purple Team position working for a leader in the banking industry that’s got me super excited and I would love to tell you why.

Currently there is one other person on the team, and you will both be Director level members of the Purple Team, in a very hands-on position. This team is currently receiving lots of investment and projects so there is a huge scope for career growth. As you are driving these Purple Team projects, you will have lots of autonomy over the direction and execution of these projects.

This role will be more focussed on the blue team side, as this company have their own internal red team, who you will work very closely with. Thus, an understanding of how a red team operates would be ideal. For example, someone with a pentesting background who has now moved into the blue team with experience using Splunk or Elastic I would love to speak with.

You will be developing threat models, generating a list of test phases, creating SIEM use cases, performing hunting analysis + triaging, remediating the issues found and building new mitigation measures, then integrating these into the SOC. Working in a large enterprise, someone with a background or prior experience in this area is sought after.

Hybrid working in the Manchester area; however, this is very flexible. I would love to discuss this role in more detail with you. If you’re interested, please apply now and let’s start a conversation today.
