You will be working with our extremely passionate technical consultants, to enable them to deliver mission critical research and capabilities for our clients, putting in place the necessary measures to ensure effectiveness to identify any risks early and take the most appropriate steps to mitigate.
The projects will be varied and include multiple disciplines including vulnerability research, software development, hardware research, RF and production builds. They will also be at various levels of maturity from early-stage scientific research through to the development of high assured and in-house supported capabilities. Our project durations and team sizes are also varied and includes rapid research tasks lasting a few weeks, to longer engagements lasting 12+ months with larger teams pulling on skillsets from multiple disciplines all working to deliver a common mission aligned capability.
This role will act as a key interface between project delivery, clients and internal stakeholders so you will be expected to build strong relationships at all levels with both internal and external stakeholders.
