Technical Engagement Coordinator
to step in as a key operational driver within our PTaaS (Penetration Testing as a Service) delivery model. This role will immediately take over delivery responsibilities currently owned by our Community team, enabling them to shift focus toward recruiting and management. From day one, you'll ensure assessments are staffed with the right pentesters, that customers are set up for success, and that delivery operations scale with increasing demand.

This role will also play a critical part in helping us operationalize the pentester experience, enhance data visibility for internal teams, and tighten feedback loops across Community, Product, and Technical Engagement teams.

What You Will Do
Delivery Ownership

• Manage delivery-side logistics for all active and upcoming pentests.
• Source and confirm pentesters based on skill match, experience, and availability.
• Ensure accurate scoping alignment with resourcing impact and make recommendations as needed.
• Confirm pentester assignments, invite them to project-specific Slack channels, and coordinate credential provisioning between customer and pentesters.

Pentester Community Intelligence

• Maintain a deep understanding of the pentester community — including individual strengths, certifications, experiences, and availability — to make the best resourcing decisions.
• Monitor in-flight engagements to ensure delivery is efficient, quality is high, and assignments remain the right fit.
• Track and validate pentester certifications, HackerOne CLEAR status in good standing, and centralize this data for operational and compliance purposes.

Operational Support

• Own pentester sourcing QA for internal applications, flagging issues and helping ensure quality in selection workflows.
• Track pentester responsiveness during retesting cycles; follow up directly with testers to keep timelines on track.
• Identify and raise concerns regarding pentester performance, communication, or reporting quality.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Partner with the Data team to surface metrics related to pentest delivery, availability, performance, and coverage to support sales and delivery planning.
• Collaborate with the Product team to test and help implement features related to pentester availability, scheduling, and sourcing workflows.
• Work closely with the Community team to ensure our pool of pentesters matches current and forecasted demand.
• Support the Technical Engagement Manager (TEM) team in collecting, managing, and actioning feedback on pentesters — enabling a consistent, data-informed improvement loop.

Minimum Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in a technical, client-facing role or in technical project/program management — ideally within cybersecurity, AppSec, or pentesting environments.
• A strong operational mindset and exceptional attention to detail (experience designing processes or standardizing delivery in a professional services environment is a huge plus)
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including technical talent and cross-functional teams.
• Experience with communication (e.g., Slack, MS Teams, etc.) and project management tools (e.g. )
