• Manage stakeholder engagement related to test plans, testing feedback, and validation reports, including navigating complex or challenging partner groups
• Prioritize and load balance testing demand across team resources to support efficient execution and timely delivery
• Coordinate overlap between regulatory retesting efforts and Network Penetration Testing findings, including managing handoffs and ensuring appropriate follow-up when tangential findings are identified

• Strong organizational and prioritization skills, including the ability to load balance work and optimize team capacity across competing demands
• Comfortable managing challenging stakeholders and influencing teams across organizational boundaries to achieve timely outcomes
• Familiarity with cybersecurity testing or regulatory-driven security programs is preferred
• Financial services or other regulated industry experience is preferred but not required
