Head of Offensive AI Security & Technical Excellence
We are seeking a visionary Head of Offensive AI Security & Technical Excellence to lead the development of advanced security capabilities across artificial intelligence, machine learning, and emerging technologies. This senior role will define and execute an offensive security strategy focused on identifying, validating, and reducing risks in AI-enabled products, platforms, models, and supporting infrastructure. You will build and lead a high-performing team of security researchers, red teamers, penetration testers, and technical specialists, fostering a culture of curiosity, responsible challenge, and continuous improvement.
Your responsibilities will include establishing programmes for AI red teaming, adversarial testing, threat modelling, vulnerability research, model abuse assessment, prompt-injection testing, data and supply-chain security reviews, and attack simulation. You will set technical standards, methodologies, and quality measures for offensive security work, while ensuring findings are translated into practical improvements across engineering, product, and operational teams. The role will also oversee complex assessments, communicate risk and remediation priorities to senior stakeholders, and contribute to incident preparedness, security architecture, and governance for AI systems. You will champion technical excellence through coaching, peer review, knowledge sharing, automation, and the adoption of innovative tools and research.
Applicants should have extensive experience in offensive security, red teaming, penetration testing, application or cloud security, with significant practical knowledge of AI and machine learning risks. Strong understanding of attack frameworks, secure development practices, vulnerability management, and modern cloud architectures is expected. Experience testing large language models, autonomous systems, AI agents, or data pipelines is highly desirable. You will need excellent leadership, communication, and influencing skills, together with the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant professional certifications, a record of published research, or contributions to the security community would be advantageous. This is an opportunity to shape how advanced technologies are tested, defended, and developed responsibly at scale.
