What you will be doing?

We are looking for a well organized and tech-savvy Junior Specialist to act as the operational "right hand" for our Security Team. You don't need to be a pentester or a policy writer.

Your goal is to handle the logistics, scheduling tests, chasing evidence etc. You will have the opportunity to learn security governance and operations from the inside out and grow with the team.

Key Responsibilities
